Sometimes, the best treatment for a damaged tooth is to remove it entirely. Tooth extractions are a common dental procedure that can address tooth decay, enamel damage, or impacted wisdom teeth. At EDentist Bentleigh East, we offer tooth extraction procedures for both children and adults.
When you work with us, you can rest assured you are in the hands of experts. We strive to create a welcoming atmosphere for all of our patients.
Tooth extractions are a relatively non-invasive dental procedure that involves minor surgery. First, the dentist injects an anesthetic in the area and starts removing bone and gum tissue occluding the tooth. Next, they will gently remove the tooth using metal forceps to loosen it by rocking back and forth.
After removing the tooth, the dentist will clean and stitch the incision. The incision should heal, and swelling will go down within about seven to ten days. Larger incisions may take up to three weeks to fully heal.
Dentists typically use local anesthetic for surgical extraction procedures, so patients feel minimal to no pain. You may feel slight discomfort and pressure while the dentist manually removes a tooth, but it should not hurt any more than a typical dental cleaning procedure.
Afterwards, general swelling and soreness in the incision site are common. Your dentist might give you mild pain medication, and the pain should go away after a few days. If you have further pain, you should schedule a follow-up appointment with your dentist.
