Tooth Extraction

Tooth Extraction Process

Tooth extraction is the process of removing the tooth completely or partially. Tooth extraction is performed by our dentist and is performed under local anesthesia. Tooth extraction may be necessary for a variety of reasons, such as:

Excessive rot,
Crooked teeth,
Gum diseases,
Broken or cracked teeth,
Extra teeth in the mouth.

During the tooth extraction process, our doctor goes down to the root of the tooth and extracts the tooth. The gums are then sutured or left to avoid putting pressure on the gums.

Healing Process

In the first few days after tooth extraction, symptoms such as pain, swelling and slight bleeding may be seen in the treated area. These symptoms are normal and subside within a few days.

What To Do

• To stop the bleeding in the extraction area, gentle pressure should be applied with a sterile gauze pad.
• Ice can be applied to the extraction site. This can help relieve swelling and pain.
• You can rinse your mouth with water, but you should not spray water or other liquids directly on the extraction site.
• You should consume soft, crushed or pureed foods.

What You Should Avoid

• You should avoid consuming hard, irritating or sticky foods.
• In order to reduce the risk of possible infection in the tooth extraction area, you should take care of your oral hygiene and follow the recommendations of our doctor.
• Smoking and alcohol consumption can cause many serious problems such as gum infections and failure of implants. It is important to avoid smoking and alcohol consumption during the dental implant treatment process.
• You should avoid touching the extraction site or chewing the affected area.
