What to do if the tooth is not extracted cleanly

Nowadays, many people have dental problems, and sometimes we have to extract teeth, but many people find that they did not extract their teeth cleanly, so they are always very anxious. In fact, you don’t need to worry too much. Now I will introduce to you how to deal with teeth that are not extracted cleanly. I hope you can understand it.

Tooth extraction is a common dental problem in our lives, but some patients will experience severe tooth pain, thinking that the tooth was not extracted cleanly. What should they do about this problem? Experts say that this problem may be caused by two aspects. One is that the tooth was not extracted cleanly, and the other is that people mistakenly believe that the tooth was not extracted cleanly. Let's take a closer look at it below. It will not work if the teeth are not extracted cleanly. Residual roots will affect the growth of normal teeth. The longer the residual roots stay, the greater the chance of inflammation. If residual roots affect the growth of normal teeth, normal teeth may grow obliquely or grow slowly. It will affect the beauty of teeth and bring unnecessary trouble and pain to patients. However, in some cases, misunderstandings arise because patients are not clear about the relationship between teeth and periodontal tissues. Teeth grow in the alveolar bone, not in the soft tissue. When extracting a tooth, only the diseased tooth is extracted, not the diseased tooth and the surrounding alveolar bone. Therefore, after the diseased tooth is extracted, the alveolar bone is still there. At this time, what the patient feels with his tongue or fingers is actually the remaining alveolar bone (the edge of the extraction wound, the alveolar interval or the gap between the roots), not the remaining roots that were not extracted cleanly. After tooth extraction, patients should not lick the extraction wound with their tongue, let alone touch the extraction wound with their fingers, so as to avoid infection.

The above specifically introduces some methods to deal with incomplete tooth extraction. If we find that we have not extracted a tooth cleanly, we should go see a dentist again as soon as possible. I hope I can help you in life, and I wish you all a happy life!
