Reason for Tooth Extraction

Tooth Decay

A high intake of foods and drinks containing sugar can result in tooth decay. However, tooth decay can be corrected with Root Canal Therapy, but if the infection is so severe, extraction is necessary.

Orthodontics

Sometimes tooth extraction is necessary during orthodontic treatment (teeth straightening ) if your tooth is too big for your mouth or if your tooth does not erupt because there is no room in your mouth for it to grow.

Procedures

Initially, our Dentist will begin with examining your tooth condition. Once after determining the treatment, our Dentist will give you an injection of a local anesthetic to numb the area where the tooth is to be extracted. We ensure that our patients are completely comfortable during tooth extraction. We will never begin the procedure until we are very certain that the experience will be pain-free. Once the tooth is extracted, a swab or gauze is placed to stop any bleeding.

After Procedure Care

Do’s

  • Take painkiller as prescribed.
  • If bleeding re-occurs, gently bite the gauze pad placed by our Dentist to reduce bleeding
  • If you are experiencing prolong pain due to dry sockets, kindly contact us.
  • Relax at least for 24 hours after the extraction, limit the activity for the next two days
  • Eat soft foods such as yogurt, soups, pudding.
  • When lying down, prop your head with pillows. Lying flat may prolong bleeding.

Don’ts

  • Try not to touch the area with your finger or tongue
  • Don’t drink water from the straw for 24 hours
  • Don’t smoke or consume alcohol for at least 24 hours from the extraction
  • Avoid rinsing or spitting forcefully for 24 hours after the extraction to avoid dislodging the clot
