About Tooth Extraction

⮫

Tooth decay or cavities that are ignored for a long period of time and broken fillings will result in a painful toothache, which is usually treated by root canal treatment or extraction.

⮫

At Sairam Dental Care, extractions are performed using advanced techniques and modern equipment to ensure maximum comfort, safety, and minimal pain for patients.

⮫

The procedure is usually recommended when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or cannot be restored through treatments like fillings, crowns, or root canal therapy.

⮫

Our experienced dental professionals ensure a smooth process, from diagnosis to post-treatment care, helping patients recover quickly and comfortably.

Reasons for Tooth Extraction

►

Severely decayed tooth: When tooth decay has progressed deep into the structure, making restoration impossible.

►

Impacted or infected wisdom tooth: Wisdom teeth that are trapped or partially erupted can cause pain, swelling, and infection.

►

Retained milk teeth: Baby teeth that do not fall out naturally can interfere with the proper alignment of permanent teeth.

►

Periodontal (gum) disease: Advanced gum disease can weaken the supporting bone and tissues, causing teeth to become loose.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth or third molars are the last permanent teeth to appear in the oral cavity. These usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 25 and are known to cause problems due to a lack of space in the jaw.

If the tooth doesn't have space to grow (impacted wisdom tooth), it might result in pain, infection, or other dental problems. To prevent potential problems, your dentist might recommend wisdom tooth extraction even if the impacted wisdom teeth aren't currently causing problems.

Consequences of Not Getting Wisdom Teeth Removed:

►

Pain, bite problems, and overcrowding make brushing and flossing difficult and lead to cavities or tooth decay.

►

Damage to the jawbones, affecting the function of the mouth.

►

Cause the gums to swell and make cleaning difficult. These reddish areas along the gum line are often sensitive to touch, preventing proper brushing and ultimately leading to cavities and tooth decay.

Extraction FAQs

Is tooth extraction painful?

No, extractions are performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. You may experience some pressure, and mild discomfort afterward is manageable with prescribed pain relievers.

How long does it take to recover?

Initial healing of the extraction site usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks. However, the bone and surrounding tissues may take several months to fully heal.

What should I avoid after an extraction?

For the first 24 hours, avoid rinsing your mouth vigorously, drinking through a straw, smoking, and eating hard or crunchy foods, as these can dislodge the blood clot and cause dry socket.
