Why Might You Need a Tooth Extraction?
There are several reasons why a tooth may need to be removed:
-
Severe tooth decay or infection
-
Advanced gum disease
-
A broken or fractured tooth beyond repair
-
Overcrowding (often before orthodontic treatment)
-
Impacted wisdom teeth
-
Preparation for dentures or implants
Our dentists will always assess whether a tooth can be saved first. Extraction is only recommended when absolutely necessary.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Your comfort is our priority. Here’s what happens during a typical extraction:
-
Consultation and X-rays to assess the tooth and surrounding bone.
-
Local anaesthesia is used to numb the area completely.
-
Gentle removal of the tooth using precise tools to minimise trauma.
-
Stitches (if needed) to help with healing.
-
Clear aftercare instructions are given before you leave.
In most cases, the procedure is quick and virtually pain-free.
🩹 Aftercare & Healing Tips
Proper care after an extraction is essential for a smooth recovery. Here are some key tips:
-
Bite gently on gauze to stop bleeding.
-
Avoid hot food and drinks for the first 24 hours.
-
Do not smoke or drink alcohol for at least 72 hours.
-
Avoid touching the area with your tongue or fingers.
-
Use painkillers as advised by your dentist.
-
Stick to soft foods for a few days.
Healing typically takes about 7–10 days, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Will it hurt?
Thanks to local anaesthetic, you won’t feel pain during the procedure—only mild pressure. Post-treatment discomfort is minimal and easily managed.
How long will it take to heal?
Initial healing takes 7–10 days, but complete recovery of the bone may take a few weeks.
Can I go back to work the same day?
Most patients return to work the next day, though it's best to take it easy for 24 hours.
