Reasons to remove teeth and any conditions that need to be considered

Tooth extract is one of the most feared medical actions. There are various assumptions that state that removing teeth is dangerous, and one of them is that it can cause eye damage to to blind an .

Not only in Indonesia, the notion of extracting teeth can also make blind eyes develop in other countries, such as India. However, this is only a myth. The branches of the nerves in the teeth and eyes are different and not directly related, so the action of pulling teeth will not affect the nerves in the eyes.

Reasons to remove teeth and any conditions that need to be considered

Let's look at the discussion about what conditions make the dentist recommend removing the tooth. And as a patient, what conditions do you need to pay attention to before deciding to remove your teeth.

Reasons for Revoking a Tooth

Surely the dentist will do a first check to get assess whether or not the tooth is removed, and usually, the dentist will also treat the problematic tooth before finally deciding to remove the tooth. Some conditions that make tooth extraction need to be done are:

  • Tooth decay that is severe.
  • Teeth that are broken by collision.
  • Broken jawbone and the tooth is located on the fracture line.
  • Toothache due to infection at the root. Unplug the tooth if the patient cannot undergo dental root canal treatment, or has already undergone it but is unsuccessful.
  • Teeth shake due to tissue death in the space where the tooth attaches.
  • Number of teeth excess.
  • The position of the teeth is not normal and causes injury to the surrounding tissue.
  • Teeth whose position is close to dangerous tissue abnormalities, such as cancer.

In addition to abnormalities in the teeth or surrounding tissue, dental extraction is also done for aesthetic considerations, which are usually done in the treatment of braces, so that one's teeth look neat. Tooth extraction is also often chosen by patients for reasons of cost. The cost of expensive dental care makes a person decide to remove the tooth, rather than doing the treatment.

Conditions to Look For Before Unplugging

Even if you remove the tooth you cannot causes blindness, there are some disorders of vision that can appear, but only temporarily.

In addition, pulling teeth also risks creating a number of complications. One of them is a disruption of wound healing in the tissue where the tooth is removed. This condition is called dry socket or alveolar osteitis, and makes the sufferer feel great pain.

To reduce the risk of complications, the dental extraction procedure should only be performed by a dentist. If you have or have had a particular disease, inform the dentist before removing the tooth. The disease includes:

  • Diabetes, especially blood sugar is not controlled.
  • Hypertension.
  • Congenital heart abnormalities.
  • Abnormalities heart valve.
  • Adrenal gland disease.
  • Liver disease.
  • Thyroid gland disease.
  • Endocarditis.
  • Immune system disorders, such as HIV.

Also inform your doctor if you are pregnant or are taking blood-thinning drugs (such as aspirin).

After removing your teeth done and the effects of anesthesia disappear, you will feel pain. But this is a natural thing. The wound healing process will take place within 1-2 weeks. To speed up healing and prevent complications, don't gargle too tightly, don't drink with a straw for the first 24 hours, and don't smoke. If you have a fever, chills, nausea, bleeding that does not stop, chest pain, or shortness of breath, immediately contact your dentist again.
