Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth, usually because of decay, injury or overcrowding.
Overview
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.
Time requirements
Average length of stay abroad is 1 to 2 days. Some patients allow a few days before travel in case of pain or difficulty speaking. This may be recommended for patients having several teeth removed.
Reason to extract teeth
Teeth may need to be extracted because of infection, a crowded mouth, or gum disease.
Tooth extraction is often a last resort for a damaged tooth. Teeth may be removed in cases of severe decay, infection, overcrowding, damage due to trauma, or in order to fit a prosthesis such as dentures.
Before your treatment
Before the procedure, the area around the tooth is numbed with local anesthetic.
How is it performed
In most cases, the dentist will simply remove the tooth with forceps once the anesthetic have been administered. In cases where the tooth is impacted, it may be necessary to cut into the gum to expose enough of the tooth to remove it.
Anesthesia
Local anesthetic.
Procedure duration
The Tooth Extraction takes 30 to 90 minutes.
A simple tooth extraction can take 30 minutes, but more complicated extractions (surgical extractions) may take longer.
After your treatment
Post procedure care
After the procedure, the dentist may prescribe antiobiotics 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.
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.
Good to know
Not recommended for
Teeth that can be saved with other methods such as root canal treatment.
Potential risks
Bleeding, infection, swelling, jaw bone damage, nerve injury, dry socket, sinus exposure (when removing upper teeth). There is also a risk associated with the healing process. 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.
