Tooth extraction step by step

 Tooth extraction is often a simple but very delicate dental procedure. Here at Brickel Dental Care, we know what tooth pain is. So first of our dental team will make sure that your tooth extraction will be painless.

– Patient is administered an anesthetic, usually novocaine or lidocaine. This is the most frustrating part of the tooth extraction process.

– We will make it as fast as we can.
We are using special dental instruments – surgical or classical, depending on the type of tooth extraction procedure. In the first case, the tooth is removed using a small incision in the gums or hiding the bone, in the second – by loosening the tooth a little and quickly pulling out the tooth
without unpleasant consequences. After the surgery, the dentist will tell you what is recommended to do for a quick healing process and what not to do to avoid problems.

In fact, tooth extraction is simpler than it seems, the surgery  – and almost painless. You not going to feel anything but small pressure

 After tooth extraction, it is worth adhering to certain rules and recommendations of the dentist – they help to avoid both discomfort and complications.
– You should not eat for several hours after the procedure. This can damage the gum surface that is not yet tightened and cause infection.
– Closely monitor the place where the tooth was – and if it bleeds heavily, consult a doctor.
– You can take pain relievers if needed.
– Do not drink with a straw, smoke, or eat hot food. All of these actions can help dissolve the blood clot that usually forms in the socket after pulling out a tooth, which can lead to pain or an increase in the healing time of the gums.

If the extraction of a tooth was difficult (surgically), after a day, it is worth starting to rinse the damaged gum with a solution recommended by the dentist.
Also, if it was a surgical tooth extraction, you should not use a hard toothbrush or illuminated mouthwash.

     About 3 days after your tooth extraction, your gums will begin to heal and close around the removal site. And finally, 7-10 days after your procedure, the opening left by your extracted tooth should be closed (or almost closed), and your gums should no longer be tender or swollen.
