Understanding your care

Extraction removes a tooth that cannot reasonably be retained or is causing a specific problem. Your dentist examines the tooth, considers imaging and discusses suitable alternatives before recommending removal.

Care that fits your needs

First establish whether the tooth can be saved, then consider removal and any need to replace the gap.

During and after care

Removal & early healing

A straightforward extraction may be completed in one treatment appointment; surgical removal can need additional planning. Local anaesthetic is normally used. Soreness and swelling vary with the procedure and should gradually settle. The socket and underlying bone continue healing beyond the first few days.

Protecting the healing socket

Avoid rinsing, spitting or touching the socket for the first 24 hours. Choose soft foods and avoid smoking. Follow the cleaning instructions provided. Seek prompt advice for persistent bleeding or severe or worsening symptoms.

Your questions, answered

Will I feel the extraction?

Local anaesthetic is normally used. Pressure or movement can be felt; tell the dentist if you feel pain.

How long does healing take?

Initial soreness often improves over days, while the socket and bone heal over longer periods. Surgery and health factors can change recovery.

Will I need a replacement tooth?

Not every space needs replacement. Tooth position, bite, oral health and preferences guide the discussion.

When should I contact the clinic?

Contact the dentist promptly for persistent bleeding, fever or pain and swelling that worsen. Breathing or swallowing difficulty needs emergency hospital care.
