The Tooth Extraction Process
Consultation & Assessment
Your dentist will examine the tooth and its surroundings, take X-rays if necessary, and discuss options such as crowns or fillings.
Local Anaesthetic
To make the procedure comfortable, the area near the tooth is numbed. Sedation options are available for patients with higher dental anxiety.
Tooth Removal
The tooth is gently removed using precise techniques while protecting the surrounding tissue.
Aftercare Instructions
Guidance is provided for managing discomfort, swelling, and healing. This may include diet, oral hygiene, and rest recommendations.
Follow-Up
A check-up ensures proper healing and guides restorative options, such as implants, bridges, or partial dentures, if needed.
Most simple extractions are straightforward with minimal recovery time.
Aftercare Tips
To recover and avoid complications:
- Bite gently on the gauze to control bleeding.
- Avoid smoking, alcohol, or drinking through a straw for 24 hours.
- Eat soft foods such as yogurt, mashed vegetables, or soup.
- Maintain gentle oral hygiene, avoiding the extraction site initially.
- Take prescribed medication as directed.
- Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing.
Following these instructions ensures a smooth recovery and helps maintain your long-term oral health.
