What Is Teeth Extraction?
When your tooth has endured significant damage or decay, reaching a state where conventional remedies like fillings or crowns are ineffective, your dentist might choose the final course of action: tooth extraction.
Indeed, if your tooth has suffered severe harm beyond the possibility of repair, the extraction becomes an essential procedure. This dental intervention involves the complete removal of your tooth from its socket (pulling the tooth).
However, the primary teeth, commonly known as milk teeth, may naturally loosen and fall out to pave the way for permanent teeth, often without requiring professional dental intervention or extraction.
Various conditions may require tooth extraction, including excessive tooth decay, tooth infections, and overcrowding. Dental practitioners, alongside specialized professionals like oral surgeons and periodontists, are often capable of performing tooth extractions.
The roots of dental extractions can be traced back to the 14th century, showcasing their long-standing presence in the field of dentistry. Following the extraction, the socket typically takes approximately 1 to 2 weeks to heal, while the affected bone and surrounding tissues may require a slightly longer duration for complete recovery.

Benefits of Teeth Extraction
Despite being an intimidating procedure for many, teeth extraction actually has a lot of benefits to offer, such as:
- Reduction of harmful bacteria: One of the key advantages of tooth extraction is its ability to effectively reduce the presence of harmful bacteria that can wreak havoc on your teeth and gums.
- Restoration of oral health: When a decayed or damaged tooth is left untreated, it has the potential to unleash a series of problems that can have a detrimental impact on your smile. Tooth extraction safeguards the integrity of surrounding teeth.
- Alleviation of dental pain: If you have been enduring dental pain due to a severely broken or infected tooth, tooth extraction can offer immediate relief.
- Addressing specific dental issues: Tooth extraction is commonly recommended for deep tooth infection (abscess), overcrowded or poorly positioned teeth, gum disease-related tooth issues, and others.
The Procedure of Teeth Extraction
Tooth extraction can be performed using either local anesthesia at a dentist's office or general anesthesia in a hospital setting, depending on the specific circumstances.
The healing process for the extraction site generally takes around two weeks. The steps of the procedure conventionally include:
1. anesthesia
To ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, your dentist will begin by administering local anesthesia.
2. Loosening & lifting the tooth
Using specialized dental instruments, your dentist will delicately loosen your affected tooth from its socket. With careful precision, the tooth is then gently lifted and removed.
3. Cleaning & disinfection
Once the tooth is extracted, the socket is cleaned and disinfected. This crucial step helps prevent the risk of infection and promotes a healthy healing process.
Risks of Teeth Extraction
Like any surgical procedure, there is a slight possibility of encountering complications after teeth extraction, including:
- Dry socket (bone and nerve exposure due to dissolving of the blood clot)
- Nerve injury or numbness in the lips, tongue, or chin
- Perforation of the maxillary sinus
- Troubled healing
- Infection

However, additional factors, such as the complexity of the procedure or any necessary follow-up care, may influence the overall cost. In other countries, such as the United States, the cost can go up to 200 US dollars, making Turkey a cheaper alternative.
