When a tooth is extracted, it is taken out of your mouth by a dentist. When a tooth cannot be repaired because it is broken, decaying, or crowded, this is typically done. The tooth will be removed from your jawbone using specialised tools after the dentist has given you information on how to care for the area.
A local anaesthetic is typically used during tooth extractions to numb the area and lessen pain. During the operation, you can feel some pressure or discomfort, but it shouldn't hurt. You can feel some discomfort or soreness after the treatment, but your dentist can give you painkillers to alleviate it.
Sedation dentistry is an alternative for people who are nervous about having several teeth extracted because they will be asleep during the treatment and won't remember anything.
The length of recovery depends on the patient and how difficult the extraction was. An extraction often requires a few days to a week to recuperate from. On how to take care of the extraction site and what to anticipate during the recovery time, we will give guidance.
It is advised to wait at least an hour before eating or drinking anything after the operation. After that, you can begin eating soft, chilled foods and progressively move on to more substantial ones as you get used to them. Foods that are firm or sticky should be avoided since they may disrupt the extraction site.
Although tooth extraction is typically a safe and common treatment, there are some potential dangers, including bleeding, infection, and harm to the teeth or tissues nearby. Your dentist will go over the dangers with you and take preventative measures to reduce them.
Your dentist might suggest replacing the extracted tooth with a dental implant, bridge, or denture if it is noticeable when you smile or impairs your ability to chew or speak. However, it might not be essential to replace the excised tooth if it was a wisdom teeth or other non-visible tooth.
