Dental Tooth Extractions
What happens during an extraction?
Sometimes a tooth needs to be taken out due to decay, gum disease, trauma or as part of straightening teeth (orthodontics).
Your dentist will anaesthetise (numb) the area using special anaesthetic gels and dental anaesthetic, to ensure the tooth and the tissues around it are numb. Prior to commencing with the extraction the area is checked to make sure it is thoroughly numb to ensure you feel no pain. You will not feel any pain during your tooth extraction but you may feel some pressure.
For very decayed teeth or teeth with crooked roots your dentist may have to carry out a surgical procedure in order to remove the tooth and its roots.
Before you leave the practice you will be checked to ensure the area is clean and you will be given verbal & written instructions to help will the healing process.
