Just wondering if the image in this page is too scary for people seeking information about dental procedures... I personally have a severe dentist phobia and personally that image doesn't affect me, but I'm sure it will scare many people :) -- Appelshine 11:36, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Please remove that picture someone it makes some of our stomachs turn
I agree. The image is not only disgusting, but adds nothing of value to the article.

This picture accurately shows the extraction procedure in a method that is much less dramatic as it sometimes is. Extractions can be straightforward like this one (seems to be) or they can be a bit "torturous". Regardless, this image exemplifies a routine extraction and should not be moved. 11:48, April 3, 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.120.86.234 ( talk)
There was some useful info here, but it was terribly badly written (starting with the heading). Consistent misspelling of 'dentist' as 'dentrist'; unnecessary exclamation marks; dubious science (chamomile rinses, avoidance of milk and dairy products post-XLA, 'diabetes patients may not receive adrenalin-based shots', bridges can be constructed after 3 weeks); factual errors ('patients will not feel pain during the whole day of or the day after'; and many spelling errors.

The post extraction healing section is absolute garbage. There is no need to keep pressure on a socket for 45 minutes. If bleeding hasn't stopped with pressure after 15mins-30mins, you have a problem and need an adjunct to haemostasis such as surgicel or some other haemostatic. Forty five minutes is ridiculous. Nobody could hold gauze in their mouth for that long. Not only that, but gauze will soak up flowing blood. That is not good if you want a clot to form. When you take the gauze out you will remove any pre clot that has formed. Also meds advice - leave that to a professional. Post operative care does not include tying ice bags to your head with a towel. Maybe in a Marx brothers movie. Also the quickest treatment for dry socket is irrigation with chlorhexidine gluconate and packing with alvogyl followed by (and this is the most important part) prescription of metronidazole. Anyone who was experienced in practical dentistry would not disagree with this regimen. Obviously this section was written by someone who is not.

I just edited the reasons for extraction list because it sounded akwardly pamphlet-like. One reason on the list was Receiving radiation to the head and neck may require extraction of teeth in the field of radiation. Is this a common occurrence? Radiation to the head? Sounds a bit strange. Maybe someone could elaborate if its a real thing, or remove it from the list? Mikeeg555 11:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
During head and neck radiation therapy it is ill-advised to perform extractions mid radiation therapy due to osteoradionecrosis. As a prophylactic measure, extractions should be performed prior to radiation therapy. In many instances this includes full mouth extractions due to the irreversible carcinogenic oral flora mid therapy ( http://jdr.sagepub.com/content/54/4/740.full.pdf+html). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.120.86.234 ( talk) 17:13, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
I moved this section to here, because it needs a little bit explanation first:
Much has been made in the media of links between tooth extraction and temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction (problems, including clicking and jamming, of the jaw joint). No research has shown a definitive link between orthodontic treatment, extraction of teeth and jaw joint problems. Most temporo-mandibular joint problems are multifactorial in origin (that is having a number of possible etiologic agents).
It doesn't say what causes what, if something would lead to the other. Do they claim that temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction causes some kind of natural tooth extraction, or is it the opposite way around? Mikael Häggström 05:42, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
The intro paragraph says the "most frequent indication" is tooth decay. The 3rd paragraph says the "most common reason" is fracture. I'm not a dentist, so I don't know if there's a technical difference between "indication" and "reason", but at the very least these statements are confusing and apparently contradictory. Can anyone help clean this up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pediddle ( talk • contribs) 06:21, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Can anybody add more about how the extraction is preformed. Is anaesthesia used? I am personally shit-scared of needles, does that mean I'll have to go through it without anaesthesia? -- Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson ( talk) 22:02, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Strangely enough, either is fine per [1]. Well I learned something new today... Interwebs ( talk) 16:52, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
This article doesn't mention any of the criticism which Dental Extraction has received, or its interesting recent history--starting in the 1920's with Weston Price's work on Focal infection theory and continuing today in the 'holistic' or 'biologic' dental movement. While this article shouldn't offer much legitimacy to those theories, I think a brief mention that the controversy at least exists and has some historical roots might be a good addition. WP:FRINGE would apply, and the amount of attention should be small, on the order of a few paragraphs at most encompassing the history and current criticisms of tooth extraction, as well as a strong statement of the mainstream consensus on the matter. Is there any interest in this? Ocaasi c 10:15, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Exodontia is the act, science and theory of tooth extraction. I cannot communicate precisely why I feel this it is inaccurate to call exodontia a synonym of tooth extraction, it just is... sorry for poor detail. Lesion ( talk) 21:14, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
I read "In the clot, neutrophils the macrophages are involved as an inflammatory response takes place. " I don't know dentistry but "neutrophils the macrophages" looks like a mistake to me, it doesn't make sense as English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.90.37.12 ( talk) 12:18, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
That section is getting large. Neither is it currently comprehensive. Suggest summary style section here and stand alone article: complications of tooth extraction. Lesion 18:39, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
