When a tooth has to come out, it is done gently under local anaesthetic — with aftercare to take home.

Overview

A tooth is usually extracted for one of several reasons: severe decay, a broken tooth that cannot be repaired, gum disease that has made the tooth mobile, or problems with wisdom teeth. Extractions are normally carried out in the surgery under local anaesthetic, though you may occasionally be referred to an oral surgery department if the extraction is more complicated.

Please note

If, more than 24 hours after an extraction, you develop signs of infection — fever, nausea, discharge from the site or chest pain — call the practice on 01270 256426.

The treatment journey
Before we start — the dentist explains the procedure and goes through your medical history, so please tell us about any medication beforehand.
Numbing the area — a local anaesthetic is given; the dentist waits a few minutes and checks the area is numb. You will feel pressure but no pain.
Removing the tooth — the socket may be gently widened and the tooth loosened before it is removed; tell the dentist straight away if you feel any pain.
Stopping the bleeding — you bite on a piece of gauze until the bleeding stops, and the dentist checks this before you leave.
Going home — you are given post-operative instructions and a spare piece of gauze, and can take painkillers as your dentist advises once the anaesthetic wears off.

Aftercare

Eat soft foods after the extraction while the area is tender, gradually adding solid foods back to your diet as the site heals. Avoid smoking, and avoid rinsing or spitting forcefully.

Frequently asked questions

Can I brush my teeth as normal after an extraction?

To prevent infection, avoid brushing directly around the extraction site for the first couple of days, but continue to brush the rest of your teeth and your tongue as normal.

What happens when the anaesthetic wears off?

It is normal to feel some pain as the anaesthetic wears off, but your dentist will advise you on taking painkillers. You should also expect some swelling and residual bleeding within 24 hours of the extraction. If, after 24 hours, you experience signs of infection such as fever, nausea, discharge from the affected area, or chest pain, please call us.
