01.
Process of Tooth Extraction
We start by numbing the area so you won’t feel a thing. We use specially designed instruments to remove the tooth once the anesthesia has settled in.
Sometimes, teeth are either very firmly attached to the socket or have curved roots, which can cause difficulty in removing them. In these cases, the dentist cuts the tooth into sections, removing each section one section at a time.
02.
What Are the Next Steps?
The formation of a blood clot after extraction helps to reduce the bleeding and initiates the first stage of the healing process. Biting down on a gauze pad for 30-45 minutes after the treatment is advisable. If doing so also doesn’t stop the bleeding, try biting down on the gauze for another 30 minutes. You may need to repeat this process multiple times to stop the bleeding.
Once the blood clot forms, you shouldn’t try to remove it. For the first 72 hours after extraction:
- Do not drink alcohol
- Do not smoke
- Do not use a straw
- Do not brush
