Tooth extraction in Van

What is tooth Extraction?

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be saved because of extensive decay, gum disease, fracture or orthodontic reasons. A simple extraction is done with special instruments under local anaesthesia; impacted teeth or broken roots may need a surgical extraction.

How is tooth Extraction done?

1. Examination and X-ray
2. Local anaesthesia
3. Loosening and removing the tooth
4. Placing gauze to stop bleeding, with stitches if needed
5. Aftercare advice

Who is tooth Extraction suitable for?

• Teeth that cannot be saved with root canal treatment or fillings
• Teeth loosened by advanced gum disease
• Teeth removed for orthodontic treatment

Aftercare: what to watch out for

• Bite on the gauze for 30–60 minutes.
• Do not rinse, spit forcefully, smoke or drink through a straw for the first 24 hours.
• Eat soft, lukewarm food on the other side.
• See your dentist if pain increases after day 2–3 (dry socket).

Possible side effects and risks

• Bleeding and swelling
