Tooth Extractions

No. Local anesthetic is administered to completely numb the area before the procedure is started, ensuring you do not feel pain during the extraction. You may feel a slight pressure as the tooth is removed, but the process is usually smooth and comfortable. Aftercare instructions and guidance are provided by us to manage any mild post-treatment discomfort at home.

Our goal is to save your natural teeth, but when the tooth is severely decayed, fractured below gum line, affected by advanced gum disease, it needs to be extracted. It is also common to extract impacted wisdom teeth that cause pain and damage to surrounding teeth. Pre-orthodontic treatment extractions are also carried out when necessary, for space gain in overcrowded jaws.

Keep gentle pressure on the gauze pack provided immediately after the procedure. For the first 24 hours, avoid spitting out, using a straw, smoking, or rinsing vigorously. Eat room temperature soft foods, take prescribed medications follow  post-care instructions given by the dentist.
