What is Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction is a routine dental procedure in which a tooth is carefully removed from its socket in the jawbone.This can be required when one of the teeth is severely decayed, broken, loose as a result of gum disease or it is crowding. In other occurrences affected wisdom teeth should be extracted too. Our team ensures the process is straightforward, safe, and as comfortable as possible.
What Is the Process of Tooth Extraction?
To extract the tooth simply, it is softened with the help of dental instruments and carefully removed. In more complicated situations, such as impacted or broken teeth, a small incision may be made to reach and extract the tooth without difficulty. Our experienced dentist in Dumbarton ensures the procedure is carried out safely and comfortably. After removal, the area is covered with gauze to control bleeding and support the healing process. We also provide clear aftercare instructions to help you recover quickly and avoid complications.
Tips After Tooth Extraction
- Bite on Gauze: Apply steady pressure for at least 30 minutes.
- Rest: Avoid strenuous activity for the first 24 hours.
- Do Not Rinse Immediately: Avoid rinsing your mouth on the day of treatment.
- Eat Soft Foods: Choose soft, cool foods and avoid chewing near the extraction site.
- Keep the Area Clean: Brush carefully but avoid touching the socket.
- Avoid Smoking: Smoking can delay healing and increase the risk of complications.
