Tooth extraction is a dental procedure used to remove a tooth from its socket. It may be needed when a tooth is badly damaged, decayed, infected, or cannot be saved.
A dentist in Mumbai may recommend tooth extraction for severe decay, infection, gum disease, or a badly damaged tooth. It may also be needed for impacted or crowded teeth.
Local anesthesia is usually used to numb the area before the tooth is removed. You may feel some pressure during the procedure and mild pain afterward.
A single tooth extraction may take around 30 to 60 minutes. Difficult or surgical extractions can take longer depending on the tooth's position.
Soft foods such as yogurt, mashed foods, eggs, and soup are usually easier to eat after extraction. Avoid hard or crunchy foods while the area is healing.
Many people start feeling better within a few days after tooth extraction. Complete healing of the jawbone can take several weeks or longer.
You can brush your teeth, but be gentle around the extraction area. Avoid disturbing the blood clot because it helps the socket heal properly.
Avoid smoking, using a straw, and doing heavy exercise during the early recovery period. These activities can disturb the blood clot and delay healing.
Contact your dentist in Mumbai if you have severe pain, fever, pus, or bleeding that does not stop. These signs may need further dental treatment.
Yes, a missing tooth may be replaced with a dental implant, bridge, or denture. Your dentist in Mumbai can suggest the most suitable option for your needs.
