WHAT IS TOOTH EXTRACTION?

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a damaged or loose natural tooth is removed. A dentist or oral surgeon performs this minor surgery under local anesthesia. They’ll carefully separate the gum, expand the bone socket, and remove the tooth.
For adults, dental implants are the best way to replace a missing tooth after extraction. Implants help restore your ability to chew, improve your smile, and prevent other dental problems.

    INDICATIONS FOR TOOTH EXTRACTION?

    DEEPLY DECAY TEETH 

    When a cavity is too large or infected, and cannot be restored with a filling or root canal treatment.

    TRAUMATIC INJURIES

    Severely fractured or damaged teeth that cannot be saved

    SEVERELY LOOSE TEETH

    Often caused by periodontal disease or bone loss.

    WISDOM TEETH 

    Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth that cause pain, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth.

    ORTHODONTIC PREPARATION

    Extractions to create space for teeth to move during orthodontic treatment.

    IMPACTED OR MISALIGNED TEETH

    Teeth that are crowded or out of position, affecting aesthetics or function.

    HOW LONG DOES A TOOTH EXTRACTION TAKE?

    The duration of a tooth extraction procedure can fluctuate based on the type of tooth to be extracted, its condition, and the intricacy of the surgical process.

    Routine extractions, such as emergency tooth extraction, teeth with traumatic fractures necessitating immediate extraction, and premolars being extracted prior to orthodontic treatment, typically require approximately 10-30 minutes per tooth.

    Complex extractions, including molar removals, wisdom tooth extractions, impacted tooth extractions, and extractions of infected teeth, necessitate more intricate surgical procedures and consequently consume a longer duration, generally ranging from 45-60 minutes per tooth.

    HOW LONG DOES A TOOTH EXTRACTION TAKE TO HEAL?

    The healing after a tooth extraction depends on the complexity of the procedure and the individual’s health, but it generally takes from a few days to several weeks.

    • First 24-48 hours: Mild pain and swelling are normal. Avoid disturbing the blood clot and rest well.
    • First week: Swelling peaks within 2-3 days and then gradually decreases. Mild pain can be managed with painkillers.
    • 2-3 weeks: The gum heals, and swelling and bruising should subside. The bone continues to heal underneath.
    • 1-2 months: The gum tissue fully heals, but the bone where the tooth was removed will still be recovering.
    • 3-6 months: Full bone healing.

    Recovery speed varies depending on the extraction’s difficulty, overall health, and post-care.

    TOOTH EXTRACTION AFTERCARE GUIDELINES

    Proper aftercare following a tooth extraction is crucial for ensuring fast healing, reducing pain, and preventing complications.

    WHAT TO DO AFTER TOOTH EXTRACTION?

    Bite on gauze

    Bite down on the gauze for 30-60 minutes to control bleeding. If bleeding persists, replace the gauze and continue biting.

    Apply ice

    Place an ice pack on the outside of your cheek for 10-20 minutes to reduce swelling. Rest for 20 minutes before repeating.

    Rest:

    After tooth extraction, you should avoid heavy physical activity for the first 24-48 hours to allow your body to focus on healing.

    Oral hygiene

    Brush your teeth gently, avoiding the extraction site.

    After 24 hours, rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water to help keep the area clean.

    Pain medication

    Pain relievers can be used as prescribed by your doctor to feel more comfortable after tooth extraction. Use as directed by your dentist.

    Eat and drink properly

    Consume soft, cool foods like soups, porridge, and smoothies.

    Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

    WHAT TO AVOID?

    Don’t rinse your mouth vigorously

    This may dislodge the blood clot, causing a “dry socket”.

    Avoid smoking or drinking alcohol

    These substances can delay healing and increase the risk of infection.

    Don’t use a straw:

    Sucking can dislodge the blood clot and interfere with the healing process.

    Avoid hard or chewy foods:

    These can irritate the extraction site or get stuck in the wound.

    TOOTH EXTRACTION COST

    The tooth extraction cost varies based on the tooth type and complexity. The tooth extraction charges for a simple extraction range from $24 per tooth, while more complex ones, like wisdom tooth extraction, can cost from $80. Tooth extraction cost without insurance can be higher, as you’ll pay the full amount out of pocket. Always check with your dentist for an accurate estimate.

      Frequently Asked Questions About
      Tooth Removal

      After a tooth extraction, it’s essential to focus on soft, easy-to-eat foods to promote healing. Opt for foods like yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and soups. Cold or lukewarm foods can help soothe the extraction site. Avoid foods that are hard, crunchy, chewy, or spicy, as they may irritate the socket or dislodge the blood clot. Drink plenty of water, but refrain from using a straw for at least 24 hours to avoid the risk of dry socket.

      A normal socket after tooth extraction looks like this: right after the extraction, a blood clot forms in the socket to protect the wound and promote healing. It’s normal to feel mild pain and swelling for a few days.

      The socket should not have any infection, which means there should be no pus, bad odor, or severe pain. Within 1-2 weeks, the gum tissue starts to heal and close up. If you experience unusual pain, swelling, or notice an unpleasant smell, it could be a sign of infection, and you should contact your dentist.

      Visit a trusted local dental clinic for safe and professional care. Many clinics offer services like simple extractions, wisdom tooth removal, and emergency extractions. Check reviews and ensure they have experienced dentists and proper sterilization standards for the best experience.

      Yes, an X-ray is usually needed before a tooth extraction. It helps the dentist assess the tooth’s condition, root structure, and surrounding bone, ensuring a safe and effective procedure.

      Yes, but it depends on the cause of the pain. If there’s an infection, the dentist may treat it first with antibiotics to ensure safety. Always consult a dentist for proper guidance.
