There are certain things a person should keep in mind after their tooth extraction surgery has been performed. The teeth extraction process, though a simple one and also a quick one, could sometimes take particular time, depending on the people on which the surgery is being performed. The maximum time that is taken during the procedure is for making sure the patient is numb enough not to feel any pain or anxiety involved.

Tooth extractions are somewhat uncomfortable procedures which need to be undertaken at times. Sometimes, the tooth or teeth get infected, broken or chipped, and this condition needs to be rectified. At times, the tooth or teeth can be restored. This is done via a procedure called root canal therapy or endodontic treatment. The outermost layer of the tooth is called the enamel. The one inner to this is the dentine. The one even inner to this as well is the pulp cavity. This is full of nerves, cellular matter, and blood vessels. During root canal therapy, this matter is cleared out of the dental cavity. The cavity is cleaned up and disinfected. Then it is filled with a substance called gutta percha. It is then sealed off from the rest of the outside environs with cement. A dental cap or crown may be placed atop the existing tooth structure to give it strength and support.
