A tooth is extracted when it can no longer be repaired due to cavities, infections or damage. The dentist will discuss the treatment plan with you in advance and answer all your questions. During the treatment, anesthesia is used to minimize pain. After the tooth has been extracted, you will receive advice about aftercare to prevent complications. The process is safe, and the dentist will ensure that it is as comfortable as possible for you.
The extraction of a tooth or molar at the dentist is usually done under local anesthesia. The procedure takes place in a few steps:
Anesthesia: Your dentist will numb the area around the tooth so that you do not feel any pain.
Extraction of the tooth: Your dentist will use pliers to gently loosen the tooth and pull it out of your jaw. Sometimes the tooth will be removed in smaller pieces if necessary.
Aftercare: After the extraction, a gauze pad is placed on the wound to stop the bleeding. Stitches may be needed, especially for larger wounds. Your dentist will give you instructions for pain relief, rest, and oral care.
Recovery: Recovery usually takes a few days. Swelling and pain may occur, but this can often be managed well with painkillers.
