1. when is wisdom tooth (third molar) extraction necessary?
Impacted, malpositioned, or erupting at an angle (impinging on the adjacent second molar).
Causing chronic or intermittent pain leading to pericoronitis (gum inflammation around the crown).
Creating a food trap leading to decay (caries) on the adjacent second molar.
Causing gingival swelling, trismus (difficulty opening the mouth), and recurrent infection.
Remaining within the bone with a prognosis for future complications (prophylactic removal).
Interfering with orthodontic treatment, causing crowding in the lower dental arch.
2. when is primary/deciduous tooth extraction necessary?
When the primary tooth is due for exfoliation but is not loosening (ankylosis or lack of root resorption).
Primary tooth is loose for an extended period but does not fall out naturally.
When the permanent tooth is ectopically erupting (growing in front or behind the primary tooth), with the primary tooth still blocking its path.
Extensive decay (caries) in the primary tooth that threatens the underlying permanent tooth bud.
Presence of a primary tooth abscess or persistent infection.
Primary tooth over-retention leading to malocclusion or dental crowding.

1. Is tooth extraction painful?
Minimal Discomfort. At Smilux, our multi-level anesthesia protocol ensures your complete comfort. The dentist applies a topical anesthetic to the gum before injecting the local anesthetic, ensuring the extraction site is completely numb (profound anesthesia). After the anesthetic wears off, a mild dull ache is normal and is managed with prescribed pain medication
2.How long after extraction can I eat normally?
3. Is wisdom tooth extraction dangerous/risky?
Completely Safe when performed at Smilux. Utilizing CT Cone Beam 3D technology, the dentist precisely locates the position of the nerves, ensuring an absolutely safe surgical procedure with zero risk of damage or injury.
4. After tooth extraction (non-wisdom tooth), is a replacement necessary?
Yes, a replacement is necessary. Excluding wisdom teeth, all other extracted teeth should be replaced promptly to prevent:
Jawbone resorption due to the loss of chewing force.
Tooth shifting and misaligned bite (malocclusion).
Negative impact on aesthetics and chewing function.
The optimal solution is Dental Implant placement, which restores both the root and the crown, preventing bone loss and preserving your remaining natural teeth.
5. Does tooth extraction affect the nerves?
No, it does not. Thanks to the CT Cone Beam 3D imaging, the dentist precisely identifies the location of the nerves and completely avoids any risk of impact. Other non-wisdom teeth are typically located far from major nerve pathways, making the procedure absolutely safe.
