Why You Might Need a Dental Extraction
While it’s always ideal, of course, to preserve your natural teeth, there are times when removal is necessary. A dental extraction removes a tooth from its socket in the bone. You might need one for several reasons, including severe tooth decay, a broken tooth that cannot be repaired, overcrowding, or impacted wisdom teeth. Sometimes, extractions are necessary to prepare for orthodontic care to give you the best possible outcome for your dental health.
The Procedure: What to Expect
During the extraction, local anaesthesia is administered to numb the area, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. You may experience some pressure or movement with minimal discomfort. Post-procedure, some discomfort is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications and ice packs. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you manage the discomfort and promote faster healing.
Recovery from an extraction typically involves some swelling and discomfort for the first few days. Following your dentist’s aftercare instructions is crucial, which may include resting, avoiding strenuous activities, and eating soft foods.
Helping Minimise Risks and Complications
While complications from tooth extractions are rare, they may include infection, dry socket, prolonged bleeding, or damage to surrounding teeth or nerves. Our team takes every precaution to minimise these risks. Following your dentist’s aftercare instructions will further reduce the chances of complications, ensuring a smooth recovery process.
