Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is usually performed when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or causing problems that cannot be resolved with other treatments. While the thought of having a tooth removed may be intimidating, modern techniques ensure that tooth extractions are safe, comfortable, and minimally invasive.
At Smiley Dental Clinic, we offer expert care and gentle techniques to make your tooth extraction experience as smooth as possible, ensuring your long-term oral health.
Benefits of Tooth Extraction
- Relieves pain and discomfort caused by infected or damaged teeth.
- Prevents the spread of infection by removing problematic teeth.
- Facilitates orthodontic treatments by creating space for alignment.
- Improves oral health by removing decayed or damaged teeth that cannot be saved.
FAQ
With modern anesthesia techniques, the extraction procedure itself is not painful. You may experience mild discomfort after the procedure, but this can be managed with pain relievers.
Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the extraction. For a simple extraction, most patients recover within 3–5 days. Surgical extractions may take a bit longer.
You can manage pain with over-the-counter pain medications, applying ice packs to the affected area, and following the post-operative care instructions provided by your dentist.
