What Is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a tooth is carefully removed from its socket in the bone. While our primary goal at Forever Dental and Skin is always to preserve your natural teeth, extraction becomes necessary when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or poses a risk to your overall oral health.

Modern extraction techniques have advanced significantly, making the procedure more comfortable than ever. Dr. Murray Pratt and Dr. Mary Talbot use gentle methods and effective anaesthesia to ensure you experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.

Whether it's a simple extraction or a more complex surgical removal, our experienced team provides comprehensive care from consultation through recovery, ensuring you're comfortable and informed at every step.

FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does tooth extraction hurt?

With modern anaesthesia, you shouldn't feel pain during extraction. You may feel pressure or pulling sensations. Post-procedure discomfort is managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication.

How long does recovery take?

Initial healing typically takes 7-10 days. Most people return to normal activities within 24-48 hours. The extraction site fully heals over several months.

What is dry socket and how can I prevent it?

Dry socket occurs when the blood clot at the extraction site dislodges. Affects 2-5% of extractions. Prevent by avoiding smoking, using straws, spitting forcefully, and following all post-operative instructions.

Can I eat and drink after tooth extraction?

Wait until anaesthetic wears off. Start with soft, cool foods. Avoid hot foods, hard/crunchy items for the first few days. Stay hydrated but avoid straws for at least a week.

Should I replace an extracted tooth?

In most cases, yes. Replacement prevents adjacent teeth from shifting, maintains jawbone density, preserves facial structure, and restores chewing function. Wisdom teeth typically don't need replacement.

Can I go to work after a tooth extraction?

For simple extractions, many return next day. For surgical extractions, 2-3 days off may be needed. Avoid strenuous activity for at least 48 hours.

Are there alternatives to tooth extraction?

Depending on condition, alternatives might include root canal treatment, dental crowns, or periodontal therapy. Tooth-saving options are always explored first.

What sedation options are available?

Local anaesthesia (numbing the area), oral sedation (relaxation medication), and referrals for IV sedation for complex cases or anxious patients.
