Why do we have to pull teeth?

Tooth extraction is one of the treatment options that is suggested in the last stage of treatment. In situations where the tooth cannot be repaired or a root canal cannot save it and in special conditions like an impacted tooth (e.g., wisdom tooth), extraction is the only choice.
Reasons such as:
Decay and infection:
If the level of tooth decay and infection is such that it is impossible to save the tooth through filling, root canal treatment or other restorative methods, the dentist will suggest a tooth extraction.
Crowding of teeth and orthodontic treatment:
If the teeth are messy and crowded or if one or more extra teeth have grown in, tooth extraction is necessary so that the other teeth have enough space to align in a normal direction.
A person may need tooth extraction before or during orthodontic treatment.
Tooth damage or injury:
If the tooth is broken in an accident and the tooth fracture is severe, the tooth must be extracted.
Periodontal diseases (gum disease):
Severe gum disease damages the tissue and bone under the gums and eventually causes severe loose teeth.
Care after tooth extraction
 After tooth extraction, pain in that area and bleeding is normal. By placing a gauze dressing on the wound, it can be controlled. Keep the piece of gauze placed on the extracted tooth in the mouth for at least half an hour with gentle pressure. Press the sterile gauze firmly with your teeth for 4 hours. Then slowly remove the gauze, rinse your mouth with cold water, and drink cold juice or ice cream. It is better to talk less the first night and especially in the first 4 hours after tooth extraction.
Swelling may occur after tooth extraction. In this case, the amount of swelling can be reduced by using an ice compress on the wound.
Some tips to do after pulling your tooth:
Do not eat hot foods
Decrease physical activity
Avoid brushing your teeth for 24 hours because it can irritate the surgical tissues and cause bleeding.
Smoking should be avoided for a few days.
Avoid putting different medicines on the mouth and if excessive bleeding continues, consult a dentist.
If the area becomes infected, see a specialist immediately to fix it.
Use pain medications prescribed by the dentist for pain relief.What are the methods of pulling and removing teeth?
Tooth extraction in a simple and conventional way
Surgical tooth extraction:In some cases, it is not possible to extract a tooth using simple extraction, so the dentist is forced to perform surgery and pulls the patient's tooth with the help of surgery. In case of the following problems, the tooth should be operated on:
A tooth that has not completely erupted from the gum (impacted tooth).
A tooth that is too large to be pulled out at once and must be crushed.
A tooth that is broken from the gum line.Summary
Usually, if there is no treatment left for the tooth, the dentist decides to extract the tooth. The process of tooth extraction is simple if it does not require surgery (absence of problems) and you will recover soon if you follow the care after that.
