Tooth extraction
In all cases, we strive to save the teeth with the help of conservative therapy (filling, root canal treatment, etc.). However, there are cases when this is not possible. Examples include advanced caries, high-grade inflammation (goc) at the root tip, a tooth with periodontal disease with a hopeless prognosis, or a high-grade tooth fracture when we can no longer rebuild the tooth. In this case, tooth extraction is unavoidable.
Simple tooth extraction
We speak of a simple tooth extraction when we can remove the tooth with pliers and the tooth extraction does not require further intervention. Single-rooted teeth are the front teeth, which are easier to pull and heal faster. Multi-rooted teeth can take longer to remove and heal. The intervention is completely painless, as we use the most modern anesthetic for our patients beforehand.
