Tooth Extraction

Tooth Extraction Treatment

Dr. Pandit’s Clinic of dental excellence offers best treatment of tooth extraction in Pune.

A dental extraction process often called exodontia, tooth extraction, exodontics, or informally, tooth pulling is the removal of teeth from the dental alveolus (socket) in the alveolar bone.

Dental extractions treatment is performed for a wide variety of reasons, but most commonly it is done to remove teeth that have become unrestorable through tooth decay, periodontal disease, or dental trauma, especially when they are associated with toothache. Please visit our clinic for tooth extraction in Pune.

Sometimes impacted wisdom teeth that are stuck and unable to grow normally into the mouth cause recurrent infections of the gum (pericoronitis), and maybe removed when other conservative treatments have failed.

Other conservative treatments we do before extraction include cleaning, antibiotics, and operculectomy. In orthodontics, if the teeth are crowded, healthy teeth may be extracted (often bicuspids) to create space so the rest of the teeth can be straightened.

FAQ

A Tooth Extraction?

Bleeding : A gauze pad will be placed on the extraction site to control bleeding. Bite firmly for 30-45 minutes. Replace the pad if needed.
Pain Management : Take pain medication as prescribed by your dentist. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can also help.
Swelling : Apply an ice pack to your cheek near the extraction site for 20 minutes on, 10 minutes off, for the first 24-48 hours to minimize swelling.
Rest : Avoid strenuous activity for the first 24 hours.
Diet : Stick to soft foods like yogurt, applesauce, and mashed potatoes for the first few days.
Gradually introduce solid foods as tolerated.
Oral Hygiene : Gently brush your teeth and avoid the extraction site for 24 hours. After 24 hours, resume gentle brushing and flossing, but avoid the extraction site for a few more days.

When Do We Recommend Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extraction is considered a last resort, but may be necessary for:

Severe tooth decay or damage: When a tooth is beyond repair through fillings or crowns.
Impacted wisdom teeth: Wisdom teeth that are causing pain, infection, or crowding other teeth.
Advanced gum disease: When the bone and tissue supporting the tooth are severely damaged.
Fractured teeth: When a crack extends below the gum line or fractures compromise the tooth’s health.
Orthodontic treatment: To make room for proper tooth alignment in some orthodontic cases.

What Does The Procedure Involve?

Tooth extraction can involve local anesthesia, numbing the area around the tooth, or general anesthesia, putting you to sleep, depending on the complexity of the case. The dentist loosens the tooth and gently removes it. Stitches may be placed to close the wound and promote healing.

How Long Will The Gum Take To Heal?

The initial healing process takes about 7-10 days. Complete healing, including bone regeneration, can take several months.

What Can You Expect After the Procedure?

You may experience some pain, swelling, and discomfort after the extraction. This is normal and should subside gradually.

What Can You Do to Promote Gum Healing Speed Up the Healing Time?

Follow post-operative instructions carefully.
Maintain good oral hygiene: Brushing and flossing (avoiding the extraction site initially).
Eat a soft diet for the first few days.
Apply a cold compress to minimize swelling.
Avoid smoking and alcohol.
Get plenty of rest.
Schedule a follow-up appointment with your dentist.
