    A tooth extraction is usually done with an injection of local anesthetic. This numbs the area around the tooth, so that the tooth can be pulled out. Nowadays, dentists will only remove a tooth as a last resort, if it severely decayed and cannot be saved with root canal, if it is causing overcrowding in the mouth, or if it has been damaged due to injury.

     

    Recommended for

    • Severely decayed or infected tooth

    • Overcrowding

    • To fit a prosthesis such as dentures

    Interested in Tooth Extraction abroad?

    Before the procedure, the area around the tooth is numbed with local anesthetic.

    BEFORE TOOTH EXTRACTION ABROAD

    The dentist should be able to offer a number of treatment plans for the problem, and the patient should feel free to ask about the dentist's previous success in this area, and for case study evidence (usually pictures) of previous patients that have undergone the same treatment. Pricing options should also be discussed. The dentist may perform a routine checkup during the consultation.

     

    Procedure duration

    • The Dentistry Consultation takes 30 to 45 minutes.

    HOW IT IS PERFORMED

    Post procedure care

    After the procedure, the dentist may prescribe antibiotics and patients should rest. If the extraction site bleeds, it is advised to bite down on clean cotton.

     

    It is good to allow a blood clot to form over the extraction site, as it will aid healing. Patients should avoid smoking and eating very hot or cold foods, as well as avoiding eating on the side of the mouth where the tooth was extracted, as food may get into the wound and cause bleeding or infection. Ask the dentist about suitable painkillers as some medications such as aspirin, can thin the blood and cause bleeding.

     

    If the blood clot becomes loose and exposes the bone underneath it, it can cause a painful condition called dry socket. Should this occur, a dentist will place an anesthetic cover on the area until it properly heals.

     

    Possible discomfort

    There is some minor discomfort associated with tooth extraction, although this should pass quickly. Soreness in the area should pass within a day or 2.
