Tooth Extraction
Safe Removal Of Damaged Or Infected Teeth To Protect Your Oral Health
Why Choose Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is recommended when a tooth is severely damaged and cannot be restored with treatments such as fillings, crowns, or root canal therapy. Advanced tooth decay, severe infection, or trauma may weaken the tooth structure to the point where removal becomes the safest option.
Extraction may also be necessary in cases of impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth that do not erupt properly and cause pain, swelling, or infection. In orthodontic treatments, dentists may remove certain teeth to create space and improve alignment.
Removing a problematic tooth helps prevent infection from spreading to nearby teeth and surrounding tissues. It also relieves pain and protects overall oral health.
Modern dental techniques ensure that tooth extraction is performed with precision, minimizing discomfort and promoting a smooth healing process.
What to Expect During Treatment
Before the extraction, the dentist will carefully examine the affected tooth and may take dental X-rays to evaluate its position and surrounding bone structure.
Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area, ensuring that the procedure is comfortable and pain-free. Once the area is numb, the dentist gently loosens the tooth using specialized instruments and carefully removes it from the socket.
In some cases, particularly with impacted teeth, a surgical extraction may be required. This involves making a small incision in the gum to safely remove the tooth.
After the extraction, the dentist places gauze over the area to control bleeding and may provide instructions to help with proper healing. Most patients recover within a few days with proper care.

FAQ
Answers to common questions about our services, care approach, and appointments.
Is tooth extraction painful?
Tooth extraction is usually not painful because local anesthesia is used to numb the area. Patients may feel slight pressure during the procedure but not pain.
How long does a tooth extraction take?
A simple tooth extraction usually takes about 20 to 40 minutes depending on the complexity of the case.
How long does it take to recover after tooth extraction?
Initial healing usually occurs within a few days, while complete healing of the socket may take one to two weeks.
Can I eat after tooth extraction?
Patients should wait until the numbness wears off before eating and are advised to consume soft foods during the first 24 hours.
What should I avoid after tooth extraction?
Patients should avoid smoking, drinking through a straw, and eating hard foods for at least 24 hours to prevent complications.
Will there be bleeding after extraction?
Mild bleeding is normal during the first few hours after extraction. Biting on gauze helps control the bleeding.
When should I replace a removed tooth?
Dentists often recommend replacing missing teeth with dental implants or bridges to maintain proper bite and prevent shifting of surrounding teeth.
Can I brush my teeth after extraction?
You can brush your teeth normally but should avoid brushing directly on the extraction site for the first day.
What is dry socket?
Dry socket is a rare complication that occurs when the blood clot protecting the extraction site is lost too early. It can cause pain and requires dental treatment.
When should I contact the dentist after extraction?
You should contact your dentist if you experience severe pain, prolonged bleeding, swelling, or signs of infection.
