Tooth extraction — Doctor Saleem Andraws Dental Clinic, Duhok
Extraction means removing a tooth that cannot be saved. It is done gently under local anaesthetic, and the doctor explains the options to replace the tooth afterwards.
Do you do tooth extraction?
Yes. When a tooth cannot be saved, the doctor extracts it gently under local anaesthetic and explains how to care for the area afterwards, and what can replace the tooth (an implant, a bridge or a denture).
- Decay or a crack too large to repair.
- A tooth loosened by advanced gum disease.
- A wisdom tooth that causes pain, infection or damage to the tooth next to it.
Treatment costs and the number of visits depend on your individual examination and plan. Ask Dr. Saleem about the proposed options before treatment.
