Tooth Extraction : Everything You Should Know

What is Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a tooth is removed from its socket in the bone. This may be necessary for various reasons, including decay, infection, crowding, or other dental issues.

When is Tooth Extraction Needed?

You may need a tooth extraction if you experience:
  • Severe tooth decay that cannot be repaired
  • An abscessed tooth that does not respond to treatment
  • Impacted wisdom teeth that cause pain or crowding
  • Overcrowded teeth before orthodontic treatment

How is Tooth Extraction Done?

  • The dentist will numb the area around the tooth with local anesthesia.
  • If the tooth is impacted, a small incision may be made in the gum to access it.
  • The dentist carefully rocks the tooth back and forth to loosen it from the socket before removing it.
  • After the extraction, the area is cleaned, and stitches may be placed if needed.

Does Tooth Extraction Hurt?

During the procedure, you shouldn’t feel any pain due to the anesthesia. Afterward, you may experience some discomfort, which can be managed with pain relief medication.

Aftercare Tips for Tooth Extraction

  • Bite down gently on the gauze provided to help stop bleeding.
  • Avoid rinsing your mouth vigorously for 24 hours.
  • Stick to soft foods and avoid hot drinks for a few days.
  • Follow your dentist's instructions for pain management and care.

Benefits of Tooth Extraction

  • Relieves pain and discomfort from an infected or damaged tooth
  • Prevents the spread of infection to surrounding teeth
  • Creates space for orthodontic treatment or improves dental health overall
