Unfortunately, in dentistry, we do
encounter many times where
00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:15.200
teeth need to be removed.
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:21.135
Whether that's due to infection or they're
just severely broken, there are many
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:23.060
cases where we have to extract teeth.
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:27.575
Many times, teeth have to be extracted
because they are either painful to the
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.935
patient, they may have infection,
or they may just be broken
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:32.120
and really uncomfortable.
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.255
Removing those teeth, in many cases, the
patient's in a better state
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:37.880
of health after the removal.
00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:42.520
Most of the time after tooth extraction,
the recovery process is just a few days.
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.655
The after care instructions are generally
to avoid some complications, such as dry
00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:51.320
socket, that can occur in rare instances.
