FAQs
Frequently asked questions
1.What is Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction, also known as "pulling a tooth", is a dental procedure that permanently removes a tooth from its socket in the gum.
2.What can I expect during a Tooth Extraction? A tooth extraction is a straightforward procedure that usually takes a few minutes. You can expect to feel pressure and hear noises during the procedure, but you shouldn't feel any sharp pain.
Here's what else you can expect:
-
Anesthetics You'll receive a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth so you don't feel pain. For more complex extractions, you might receive sedation or a general anesthetic to put you to sleep.
-
Tooth removal Your dentist will use a special tool to loosen the tooth in the gum, then use forceps to remove it. If the tooth is badly decayed or broken off at the gum line, your dentist might need to make incisions in your gums.
-
Socket care Once the tooth is removed, the socket will be cleaned and disinfected. Your dentist might also place a bone graft to prevent bone loss in your jaw.
-
Stitches If needed, your dentist will place stitches that will dissolve in about 2–4 weeks.
-
Aftercare Your dentist will give you gauze to bite on to help form a healthy blood clot and reduce pressure in the area. They'll also discuss how to manage soreness and discomfort after the numbness wears off, and any medications you might need. You should avoid hard foods, straws, and mouth movement, and take a break from strenuous physical activity for a couple of days. You should also plan to have a friend or family member drive you home after the procedure.
