What is Tooth Extraction ?

Tooth extraction is the removal of the tooth from the dental socket in the alveolar. The reason for this can be the unrestorable condition of a tooth due to tooth decay, gum disease or periodontal decease.

Post extraction instructions

• Do not brush or rinse till 12 hours after the extraction time.
• Drinking plenty of water would help to cure the extracted area.
• Do not consume alcohol or caffeinated drinks for at least a week.
• Do not eat any hard hot and spicy food.

Wisdom tooth extraction

Wisdom teeth are typically extracted when there is not enough room in the mouth. The crowding can create discomfort or pain and result in other teeth becoming crooked. Wisdom teeth are also removed when they are infected, coming in the wrong position,damaging other teeth, lodging food in the gums or adjacent teeth leading to decay or gum infections. For these reasons, removal of wisdom teeth is highly effective in preventing later dental problems.
