Extractions (Regular, Surgical, Impacted, Wisdom)
Extractions refer to the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. The procedure varies depending on the condition of the tooth and surrounding tissues.
Regular Extractions:
A regular or simple extraction involves removing a tooth that is visible above the gum line and is typically done when a tooth is damaged by decay or trauma but can easily be accessed. This procedure is quick and is usually performed under local anesthesia.
Surgical Extractions:
Surgical extractions are more complex procedures that involve removing teeth that may have broken off at the gum line or are not fully erupted. This type of extraction requires an incision into the gum tissue and is performed under local anesthesia, often with sedation for patient comfort.
Impacted Extractions:
Impacted teeth are those that have not fully emerged from the gum line, often because they are obstructed by other teeth or bone. These teeth, commonly wisdom teeth, can cause pain, swelling, and infection. Impacted extractions are surgical in nature and involve removing the tooth through the gum tissue and sometimes cutting into the bone.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions:
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are often the last teeth to emerge and may become impacted or misaligned, causing discomfort or damage to other teeth. Many people require wisdom teeth removal to prevent future complications such as infection, cysts, or misalignment of other teeth. Wisdom teeth extractions can be simple or surgical, depending on their position.
Need for Extractions
Tooth extractions are necessary in several situations, including:
Tooth Decay or Infection:
When a tooth is severely decayed or infected and cannot be saved by a root canal or other dental procedure, extraction may be the only option to prevent the spread of infection.
Crowded Mouth:
Extractions may be needed to prepare the mouth for orthodontic treatment. If the teeth are too crowded, pulling a tooth may be necessary to align the rest of the teeth properly.
Gum Disease:
Advanced periodontal disease can cause the loosening of teeth, necessitating their removal to prevent further bone damage.
Impacted Teeth:
Impacted teeth, especially wisdom teeth, can cause pain, infection, and other dental problems if left untreated. In these cases, extraction is often the best solution.
Trauma:
Teeth that have been damaged beyond repair due to trauma, such as an accident, may require extraction.
Treatment
At Emirates Hospitals Group, tooth extractions are performed using the latest techniques to ensure minimal discomfort and optimal recovery. Here’s what you can expect from the treatment process:
Consultation and Diagnosis:
Our Oral & Maxillofacial surgeons conduct a thorough assessment of the patient’s oral health, using X-rays and other diagnostic tools to determine the best approach for extraction.
Anesthesia and Sedation:
We offer various forms of anesthesia and sedation to ensure the patient is comfortable during the procedure. Local anesthesia is commonly used for regular extractions, while sedation or general anesthesia may be recommended for surgical or impacted extractions.
Extraction Procedure:
During the extraction, our surgeons carefully remove the tooth while preserving as much of the surrounding bone and tissue as possible. Surgical extractions may require sutures, which are often dissolvable and don’t require removal.
Post-Operative Care:
After the extraction, patients are provided with comprehensive care instructions to promote healing. This includes managing swelling, maintaining good oral hygiene, and dietary recommendations. Pain relief medications are prescribed as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tooth extractions are performed under local anesthesia or sedation, ensuring that patients do not feel pain during the procedure. Some discomfort may be experienced during the recovery period, but this is manageable with pain medication.
Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the extraction, but most patients recover within a week. Surgical extractions may require a slightly longer healing period.
It is recommended to stick to soft foods and avoid chewing near the extraction site for the first few days after the procedure.
Stitches are typically required for surgical extractions, especially for impacted teeth. These stitches are usually dissolvable and do not need to be removed.
Most patients can resume normal activities within a day or two, but it is advised to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for a few days to promote proper healing.
