Extractions

An extraction may be required when a tooth is badly damaged, or decayed, or you have gum disease. Having a tooth out can end pain and infection and sometimes be the only way to keep your mouth healthy.  Children's teeth are sometimes taken out for 'orthodontic' reasons to help new or remaining teeth grow regularly.

The size, shape, position, or root shapes of the tooth will determine the difficulty of the extraction. After evaluating the best options for your extraction, your dentist will discuss:

  • How long it will take
  • How to prevent any feeling of the extraction while it's happening
  • For certain types of pain control, whether to bring someone with you
  • When it would be convenient to have the removal
  • How your mouth should recover afterward
  • Other treatments you need such as replacement dentures in the future

During the extraction procedure, you will be able to move your jaw as normal and you may feel pressure from where the tooth is eased out, but not pain.

Afterward, your dentist will give you a pad to bite on, to stop any bleeding; sometimes stitches are used to help the mouth heal and the dentist will give you help on how to look after the gap, how to control any pain, and how to contact the practice if there are any problems.
