. If you cannot do without tobacco then make sure you follow a strict oral hygiene routine like brushing teeth at least 2 times a day, flossing the teeth. Carry out dental bleaching and recon touring whenever your dentist asks you to, it can reduce the severity of dental decay in future.

Bone sequestra and tooth fragments
Sometimes small fragments of dead bone (called a "sequestrum" [singular] or "sequestra" [plural]) will come to the surface of an extraction site as the patient’s body ejects them during the healing process. This is more likely to occur in those cases where the tooth extraction has been relatively difficult or traumatic. When the tooth extraction requires an incision and raising a flap of tissue to get access to the tooth, it is called surgical. This is the case with most wisdom teeth. Along these same lines, if the tooth broke or splintered during the extraction process you may find that small shards of tooth may come to the surface of the extraction site, even some weeks after the socket seems to have healed. You may be able to remove the smallest of these splinters of bone or tooth on your own, or you may find that you require, or want, your dentist's assistance in removing them.

Of course after a tooth has been extracted there will be a hole left in your jawbone where the tooth has been removed (the tooth's socket). As time passes the shape of this hole will smooth over and fill in with bone. While it can take many weeks and months for this healing process to occur fully, from a practical standpoint after 1 to 2 weeks enough healing will have occurred that the extraction site should be of only minor inconvenience to you.

might be indicated if repairing a damaged tooth is not practical. Broken, cracked, or extensively decayed teeth can be extraction candidates. Some teeth will have extensive decay (dental caries) or else will have broken or cracked in such an extreme manner that an extraction might be considered the best, or at least a reasonable, solution. In some cases the obstacles that present themselves might be so formidable that a repair for the tooth is simply not possible. In other cases the cost of needed dental treatment or else a questionable long-term outlook for the success of the treatment may be the reason an extraction is chosen.

well i really prefer preventive dentistry and not really into extraction of tooth. as long as we can really save our teeth i think it is really much better well i really believe that there are many ways now to save our teeth.
