Tooth extraction treatment

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. Tooth extraction may be necessary in cases where a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or infected, and cannot be restored with other dental treatments such as fillings, crowns or root canal treatment.

Book an Appointment

After the tooth extraction procedure, the dentist will provide instructions for post-operative care, which may include:

  • Applying a cold compress to the affected area to reduce swelling
  • Taking pain medications as prescribed to manage any discomfort
  • Avoiding smoking or using a straw for at least 24 hours after the procedure
  • Eating soft foods for the first few days after the procedure
  • Brushing and flossing gently around the extraction site to avoid irritating it.

 

It is important to follow the dentist’s instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and prevent complications such as infection or dry socket, which is a painful condition that can occur when the blood clot that forms in the extraction site is dislodged or dissolves before the wound has healed.

Frequently Ask Questions (FAQ) -

Do you have questions about our Tooth extraction treatment? We’re here to help! Check out the answers to some of most frequently asked questions.

Why do I need a tooth extraction?

Tooth extraction may be necessary for various reasons, including severe tooth decay, advanced gum disease, impacted wisdom teeth, overcrowding, or preparation for orthodontic treatment.

Does tooth extraction hurt?

The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel any pain during the extraction. However, you may experience some discomfort and mild pain after the procedure, which can be managed with pain medication prescribed by your dentist.

How long does the tooth extraction procedure take?

our dentist will begin by administering local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth. Once the area is numb, they will use specialized instruments to loosen the tooth and remove it from the socket. In some cases, a small incision may be required to access the tooth. After the extraction, your dentist may place stitches or pack gauze to promote healing.

Are there any risks or complications associated with tooth extraction?

While tooth extraction is generally a safe procedure, there are some risks involved. Potential complications include infection, excessive bleeding, damage to neighboring teeth or structures, and dry socket (a painful condition where the blood clot dislodges or dissolves prematurely). Your dentist will provide post-operative instructions to minimize these risks.

How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?

The initial healing period typically lasts about one to two weeks. However, complete bone healing may take several months. You may experience some swelling, discomfort, and minor bleeding during the first few days, but these symptoms should gradually improve.

What can I do to promote healing after a tooth extraction?

Follow your dentist's post-operative instructions, which may include: taking prescribed pain medication, applying ice packs to reduce swelling, eating soft foods, avoiding strenuous activities, avoiding smoking or using straws (to prevent dry socket), and maintaining good oral hygiene by gently brushing and rinsing your mouth.

Will I need a replacement for the extracted tooth?

Depending on the location and function of the extracted tooth, your dentist may recommend a replacement option. Common solutions include dental implants, bridges, or removable dentures. Discuss with your dentist to determine the best option for you.

Can I drive myself home after a tooth extraction?

Since the procedure involves local anesthesia, you should be able to drive yourself home after a tooth extraction. However, if you have been given sedation or if you feel dizzy or lightheaded, it's better to arrange for someone to drive you.
