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.
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.

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.
