What if you need an
Extraction?
Depending on your specific situation or the nature of your toothache, it may be necessary to perform an extraction.
​
Extraction may be recommended in cases such as:
​
-
Infection
-
Broken tooth
-
Gum disease
-
Severe decay
​
We prioritize making the extraction process as painless as possible and take measures to ensure your comfort before proceeding. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact us. We are here to address your needs and provide any necessary assistance.
During the Extraction
Once you are comfortably settled in the dental chair, the dentist will administer local anaesthesia to guarantee your comfort during the procedure. After you are completely numbed and prepared, the dentist will skilfully utilize specialized instruments to gently extract the tooth from its socket.
aFTER the Extraction
After the tooth extraction, the dentist will carefully clean the socket and place a gauze pad to minimize bleeding. Once the effects of the anaesthesia wear off, you may experience some mild soreness and discomfort. To facilitate the healing process, we provide the following aftercare instructions
Post-Operative Instructions
Below are steps that you should follow to help reduce pain, control bleeding and promote healing.
-
Keep the gauze swab (where used) in place applying pressure for 2 hours after leaving the surgery.
-
If bleeding recurs, place another gauze swab and apply pressure – where significant bleeding continues contact your dentist.
-
Avoid strenuous exercise and rest at home. You may need to take time off work.
-
No smoking or drinking alcohol for 2 weeks.
-
No rinsing for 1 day.
-
When you drink do not use a straw as it will have a negative pressure on the socket.
-
Do not use analgesics containing aspirin – for pain control, Panadol, Panadeine or Nurofen are suitable. Please seek medical advice if you are unsure of what to take.
-
Avoid HOT foods/liquids. When numbness has gone choose lukewarm liquids and soft foods, chewing away from the wound.
-
After 24 hours, gently rinse your mouth with warm salty water. Continue regularly until healing occurs.
-
Use ice packs from the outside to reduce any swelling or pain.
-
Brush teeth tomorrow - avoid extraction area and spit twice only.
-
Do not touch the socket with your tongue or finger.
