As dedicated and compassionate dentists, we believe in doing everything possible to save your natural teeth.

However, there are times when saving a tooth is not the best option for your overall health. Have you been advised to have a tooth extracted but are concerned about the pain involved? Perhaps you are wondering if the extraction will hurt or why it is even necessary.

Tooth extractions in Wibsey are advised only and only when truly necessary and we work in your best interest. Our goal is to ensure the experience is as easy, comfortable, and stress-free as possible for you.

What are tooth extractions, and why are they necessary?

Tooth extraction involves removing a tooth from your jaw after numbing it. While it is always our goal to preserve your natural teeth, there are times when extraction is the best option for your overall oral health.

  • Severely damaged tooth: If a tooth is beyond repair due to extensive cavities, injury, or advanced gum disease, extraction is the best way to prevent infection from spreading to nearby teeth or the jawbone.

Recovery and aftercare tips

Although recovering from a tooth extraction is typically simple, it is essential to follow all the aftercare instructions to avoid complications.

Manage discomfort

It is normal to experience mild soreness or swelling following the procedure. Over-the-counter pain relievers and cold compresses can get you some relief.

Soft foods

For the first few days, eat soft foods such as soup, mashed potatoes, yoghurt, bananas, and applesauce. Avoid anything hot, spicy, or crunchy until you have recovered.

Maintain oral hygiene

For the first 24 hours, refrain from spitting out or vigorous rinsing. Swallow your saliva, even if it tastes slightly salty. After a day, gently rinse with salt water and refrain from brushing directly over the extraction site for 2-3 days.

Avoid smoking

It can slow healing and increase the risk of complications. Try to avoid it completely for the first few days after the extraction.

Taylored Dental Care
  • Orthodontics or teeth straightening: Your mouth may not have enough space to accommodate all of your teeth. In such cases, extractions may be required before beginning orthodontic treatments such as braces to allow for proper alignment.
  • Impacted teeth are a common condition of wisdom teeth: The third molars or the wisdom teeth can get stuck under the gums or grow at odd angles near the back of the mouth, causing pain and infection, and necessitating extraction.
  • Gum disease complications: Severe gum disease, also known as periodontitis, can deteriorate the bone and tissues that support your teeth. In advanced stages, extracting the tooth may be necessary to maintain your oral health.

Frequently asked questions

Will a tooth extraction hurt?

Modern anaesthetics and techniques make extractions virtually painless. You may experience mild discomfort during your recovery, which can be alleviated with medication and care.

How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?

Most people are back to normal within a week, though complete healing of the extraction site may take longer before you are fit for tooth replacement.

Can I eat after a tooth extraction?

Sure, but do not chew on hard foods for a few days after the extraction. Instead, eat soft foods.
