What to Ask Your Dentist about Tooth Extractions

People have practiced dentistry since antiquity. One of the most common procedures in ancient times, tooth extraction, is still a very common procedure even in modern times. The only differences are the improved methods for extracting teeth and the greater ability to alleviate pain during and after the procedure.

Tooth extraction is still one of the most traumatic dental procedures commonly performed, and should not be considered lightly. Extractions are indicated for a number of reasons and may be recommended by your dentist. The following information will help you know what to ask your dentist about tooth extractions prior to undergoing the procedure.

Reasons for Tooth Extraction
Find out from your dentist the specific reasons that he or she recommends tooth extraction. There are a few broad scenarios that may lead your dentist to recommend the procedure, including:

• Cosmetic or aesthetic appearance
• Dental health and oral function
• Combination of aesthetics and function

When performing tooth-straightening procedures, such as orthodontia, or Invisalign, one or more teeth may need to be extracted to make room for the other teeth as they move.

A tooth with severe decay, which precludes any type of dental restoration, such as porcelain crowns, or dental bonding, may require tooth extraction. The dentist may recommend the tooth be removed in order to prevent other dental problems such as gum disease and bone loss.

Tooth extraction may also be performed in preparation for fitting you with dentures. If your state of dental health suggests that you need a full or partial set of dentures, some teeth, even some healthy teeth, may need to be extracted in order to provide you with a proper set of dentures.

Dental implants, an alternative to traditional dentures may also require tooth extraction. The tooth is replaced with a titanium screw and a dental appliance resembling your natural tooth is fitted to the exposed post.

Alternatives to Tooth Extraction
Another point you may want to discuss with your dentist about tooth extraction is if there are any alternatives to extraction for your particular condition. A thorough examination will help the dentist decide if the tooth could actually be repaired instead of pulled. Some of the alternative options may include:

• Porcelain inlays or onlays
• Porcelain crown
• Dental bridges to fill a gap, rather than extracting teeth in an edentulous part of your mouth
• Dental bonding

Some alternatives may be attempted in order to prevent extraction, but may only postpone the day when extraction becomes necessary.

Tooth Extraction Procedures
Finally, you will want to discuss with your dentist the extraction procedures and the expected amount of pain you may be dealing with. In general, front teeth are usually much easier to remove and may only require local anesthesia and over the counter pain medications. Difficult extractions, such as impacted wisdom teeth, may require additional anesthesia and prescription pain relief.

If you are preparing to be fitted with dentures and are having multiple teeth extracted, you will want to prepare yourself by finding out what sort of pain and discomfort you might expect. It is a good idea to schedule some time off work and have someone accompany you during the procedure to take you home.

Integration of Medical and Dental Care and Patient Data $79.95 This book informs readers of the needs and rationale for the integration of medical and dental care information with an international perspective as to how and where medical and dental care separated into specific domains. It provides high level guidance on issues involved with care and data integration and how to achieve an integrated model of health care supported by integrated HIT. A patient typically expects that a visit to a dentist can usually be resolved immediately. This expectation places a premium on instant, accurate, thorough, and current information. The state-of-the-art of fully integrated (dental-medical) electronic health record (EHR) is covered and this is contrasted with the current state of dental-medical software. While dentists in the US Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the US Indian Health Service (IHS), or the US military, for example, have access to fully integrated health records, most US clinicians still gather information from separate sources via fax or phone calls. The authors provide an in-depth discussion of the role of informatics and information science in the articulation of medical and dental practices and clinical data with the focus on applied clinical informatics to improve quality of care, practice efficiency, coordination and continuity of care, communication between physicians and dentists and to provide a more comprehensive care for the patients. Lastly, the book examines advances in medical and dental research and how these may affect dentistry in the future. Most new advances in healthcare research are information-intensive.
