Our dentist’s first priority is to help restore, repair and save your natural teeth, but if a tooth experiences excessive decay or trauma, extraction may be unavoidable.
Teeth that are severely broken or decayed can cause an infection in the gum underneath the tooth, which can lead to an abscess. Dentists perform extractions under local anaesthetic. Your dentist will ensure you are comfortable before, during and after your extraction, and will discuss your options for replacing the missing tooth.
Your dentist will also provide you with specific instructions for aftercare such as eating soft foods for 48 hours after extraction and avoid using a straw so you don’t dislodge the blood clot.
