Do I need to take pictures for tooth extraction?


Healing hearts, one patient at a time.
Generally speaking, before tooth extraction, we suggest patients to take X-ray. X-ray has its function. If the patient wants to extract teeth, especially especially particularly complicated teeth, such as impacted wisdom teeth, we suggest patients to take X-ray. After X-ray, the doctor can see the root shape of the tooth, the number of roots, the direction of the roots, and the relationship between the tooth and the adjacent important tissue anatomy. Then, he can design the extraction plan. It is safer to extract teeth according to the pre-designed extraction plan, so as to minimize the complications of white teeth. If the patient wants to extract teeth, it is better to take pictures first and then extract them. If the tooth is extracted without taking pictures before extraction, it is actually blind, so there may be some complications or the possibility of complications after extraction will increase.
