Tooth extraction may be performed for the following reasons:
- Abscessed teeth that cannot be saved despite root canal treatment
- Teeth that are loose due to advanced gingivitis.
- Milk teeth that do not fall out in time
- Teeth that cause problems due to excessive position changes (rotation, tipping, etc.)
- Teeth in cysts or tumors .
- Teeth that have not fully erupted (buried) and are causing problems.
- Due to lack of space, some teeth may be extracted even though they are problem-free, in order to assist orthodontic treatment.

WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AFTER TOOTH EXTRACTION?
After leaving your doctor's office, bite the gas tampon and hold it in place for 10-15 minutes. If there is bleeding, you can apply the second tampon to the extraction site. Bleeding in the form of leakage may occur for 4-6 hours following the extraction. Never spit. Spitting will disrupt the formation of the clot in the extraction area. Do not eat anything for 2 hours following the extraction. Stay away from very hot, very cold and acidic foods on the day of the shooting. As a painkiller, you can use any painkiller that does not thin the blood, except aspirin. After the shooting, if possible, lie down with your head elevated. Do not drink alcohol or smoke for 24 hours. If you have any problems (pain, excessive and long-term bleeding), consult your dentist. Empacted Teeth
Teeth that cannot take their place in the mouth for various reasons even though it is time to erupt are called “impacted teeth”. Third molars (also known as wisdom teeth or wisdom teeth) are among the most common impacted teeth. If there is no room in the mouth for the third molars to erupt and if the person has not yet erupted by the age of 25, they are considered “impacted”.
What types of problems can wisdom teeth cause?
Cysts and tumors may form around impacted third molars. On the other hand, partially erupted third molars are also a serious source of infection. This type of teeth can cause gum problems as well as pain. and can cause abscesses. However, not all third molars may cause these problems.
WHAT ARE THE SITUATIONS THAT REQUIRE THE EXTRACTION OF WISE TEETH?
Cyst Formation: 20 If the wisdom teeth are fully or partially impacted, cysts may form around them without causing any symptoms. This situation is detected by the panoramic x-ray your doctor will take during the examination. 2. Effects on molars: Wisdom teeth generally do not erupt in the correct position. This may result in food accumulation between the wisdom tooth and the second molar tooth and tooth decay. It is considered appropriate to remove wisdom teeth that have the potential to cause harm. Pericoronitis: In cases where wisdom teeth remain partially impacted, an infection caused by bacteria accumulated between the gums above them may develop. During this time, conditions such as facial swelling, difficulty in opening the mouth, pain, bad breath, swelling of the lymph nodes and fever may occur. Crowding: Wisdom teeth, if there is not enough space, eruption Due to the pressure it applies to the teeth during the process, it can cause mobility in other teeth and crowding in the tooth row. Pain: When wisdom teeth cannot erupt in their normal positions, they can cause pain with the pressure they apply to the adjacent teeth. Read: 0
