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.
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.
