If you are suffering from severe dental pain and require a Tooth Extraction Treatment in Addis Ababa, understanding the process and choosing a clinic with a specialized Oral Surgeon is critical for a smooth, pain-free recovery.
When Saving a Tooth is No Longer Possible At Novo Care, our primary goal is always to preserve your natural smile. However, there are specific situations where removing a severely damaged or infected tooth is the safest, healthiest option to protect your overall oral health.
1. Common Reasons for Tooth Extraction Our clinic provides expert surgical and non-surgical extractions for:
✔ Severe Decay or Infection: When a cavity has destroyed too much of the tooth structure for a root canal to be effective.
✔ Advanced Gum Disease (Periodontitis): When the bone supporting the tooth has deteriorated, causing the tooth to become painfully loose.
✔ Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Third molars that are trapped beneath the gums, causing intense jaw pain, swelling, and crowding.
✔ Orthodontic Preparation: Removing a tooth to create space for braces or Invisalign alignment.
