Extracting a tooth, formally known as a dental extraction, sometimes referred to as tooth extraction or even tooth pulling, is simply the removal of teeth from the gum socket (dental alveolus).
Why pull out a tooth? There are many reasons why you would opt for teeth extraction, the most common reason being damaged or decaying teeth. The Bali Dentist provides comprehensive dental treatments for all kinds of tooth problems. In our Dental clinic in Bali, tooth extraction is one of the many procedures which maybe necessary when a tooth is severely damaged from decay or other reasons. Our permanent teeth, as they are called, should last for a lifetime. However, due to many underlying factors, it is most unlikely our teeth will last for our lifetime. When you experience toothache with inflammation, it could mean that the tooth is severely decayed and needs to be extracted. Other reasons are explained in the list below but are not limited to these. - Broken or fractured teeth - Teeth that are badly aligned, supplementary or malformed teeth - Orthodontic treatment preparation - teeth that need to be removed in preparation for placement of braces or teeth alignment - Excess tooth that maybe blocking other teeth from growing or coming through - Impacted Wisdom teeth would qualify for removal if there is evidence of disease in the impacted tooth itself or close to it. There are two types of extraction: a) Simple Extraction; and b) Surgical Extraction a)Simple extractions - patient would normally go under local anaesthetic with the tooth being physically lifted and pulled, rocked back and forth, until the tooth actually breaks away from periodontal ligament. b)Surgical Extraction is normally employed when the tooth cannot be accessed easily. Many times the tooth would be under the gum line and would need to be split or fractured into multiple pieces before it can be successfully removed. |

Reasons Why Teeth Removal Is Necessary
Teeth removal, or pulling out of tooth from its socket, is more than just getting rid of tooth decay. Dentists in Bali perform teeth removal procedure with a prior oral examination. Oral surgeons perform the extraction rather than the general dentist, although the latter do so as required by their profession if the procedure is not complicated.
Let’s see other reasons for teeth extraction:
After the tooth has been removed, pressure is applied to the space where the tooth was, by the patient biting down on a swab. This allows a 'blood clot' (thrombus) to form in the socket preventing further bleeding. Sometimes it can take up to 30 minutes of continued pressure to fully stop the bleeding.
As the healing process progresses the chance of further bleeding is reduced and most likely will completely stop after 24 hours.

Let’s see other reasons for teeth extraction:
- Misaligned teeth or crowded teeth. On average, a healthy mouth should contain 32 permanent teeth. And this includes 8 incisors, 8 premolars, and 4 canines. When a person reaches the teen stage, the mouth can have wisdom teeth. This complicates the placement of the teeth inside the mouth, having no room left for new teeth that result in one’s discomfort. Frequently, the patient experiences a misaligned jaw.
- Severe tooth decay. Dentists recommend brushing the teeth daily and after eating to prevent food particles from building up inbetween teeth. A dirty mouth can lead to tooth decay, especially when the food eaten are sweets. In time, when tooth decay was not given proper attention, the decay will spread to the pulp, which will cause infection.
- Gingivitis. Gingivitis, or inflammation of the gums, is a prelude to periodontitis. Gingivitis is caused by dental plaque that stays in the mouth after hours without brushing. Avoid having your gums infected by keeping in mind the importance of tooth brushing and dental checkups. Bali dentists aim to restore your teeth by performing tooth extraction as a way to mitigate or solve gingivitis and prevent other healthy teeth from deteriorating.
- Impacted tooth. An impacted tooth is a blocked tooth underneath the gums. A wisdom tooth is usually impacted as the gums prevent the tooth from surfacing, thus, resulting in an inflamed gum which is painful. Bali tooth extraction will quickly help you remove an impacted tooth with its advanced procedures.
- Accidents. Untoward incidents, such as collision affecting the mouth and structure of teeth require teeth remedy or extraction for severe cases.
- Other illness. Worse scenarios for teeth extraction involves affecting your immune system. Bali teeth extraction offers a top-notch solution for simple and severe cases.

Treatment: knowing the procedure
As always is the case, anesthesia is applied on the affected area before the dentist or orthodontist performs a tooth extraction. Anesthesia serves to numb the area for a considerable amount of time until the procedure has ended, and the patient is ready to go.
The extracting procedure is not just applying anesthesia since the dentist will check the mouth and gums whether the tooth to be removed is impacted or whether it needs serious attention that includes surgery.
Ideally, the tooth is pulled out using forceps. The presiding dentist will loosen the hard-to-get tooth by rocking the base gently from the jaw bone. If the tooth is deeply rooted, dentists break the tooth in pieces before they can uproot the bigger part. The dentist hence performs small stitches for the opened wound and place a gauze pad to prevent further bleeding.
After Care
Employing the best and advanced techniques in modern dentistry, tooth extraction in Bali assures every patient to get the utmost care before, during, and even after the procedure. After the procedure, your Bali dentist will allow you to recover at home.
It is understood that the pain will be felt when the anesthesia wears out. That’s why dentists prescribed pain relievers and antibiotics to numb the pain until it is no longer there and to protect your mouth from infection while healing.
Help yourself recover fast by doing the following:

Help yourself recover fast by doing the following:
- Religiously take the prescribed medications.
- Never remove the gauze pad until the time your dentist told you to remove or replace it. This is to allow clot in the tooth socket to block future bleeding.
- Apply a cold compress on the cheek where the extraction was performed.
- Avoid stressful activities until the wound in your gums are healed.
- Always rinse with warm water and a part of salt to speed up the healing of the gums.
- During healing, avoid solid foods that will put pressure on the wood. Take soup and soft foods instead.
- Do not lie down flat. This may worsen the bleeding.
- Avoid brushing hard for the next few days.
