The Extraction Procedure

The process begins with a thorough examination, often including X-rays, to assess the tooth’s condition and surrounding structures. The extraction itself is performed under local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience. There are two main types:

🦷 Simple Extraction – Performed on visible teeth using forceps.

🦷 Surgical Extraction – Needed for impacted or broken teeth, requiring a small incision in the gum.

Post-Extraction Care

Proper aftercare is essential for smooth healing:

• Bite on gauze to control bleeding.
•  Avoid hard, spicy, or hot foods for the first few days.
• Apply an ice pack to reduce swelling.
• Avoid smoking or using straws, as they can disrupt healing.
• Maintain gentle oral hygiene but avoid brushing directly over the extraction site.

Tooth Replacement Options

Once the extraction site has healed, dentists may recommend dental implants, bridges, or dentures to restore functionality and aesthetics.

Dental extractions are safe and routine procedures, ensuring better oral health in the long run. If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain or discomfort, consulting a dentist can help determine the best course of action.
