We specialise in tooth extraction. Extraction is recommended in cases of recurrent abscesses, pulp necrosis and gangrene, as well as periodontitis in multi-rooted teeth. Sometimes, this procedure is also carried out in patients with advanced caries. Sometimes a tooth also needs to be extracted in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
We deal with removal of eights. Improperly erupting wisdom teeth put pressure on the roots of neighbouring teeth - and can therefore cause problems such as severe pain and inflammation in the mouth.
Is tooth extraction painful?
In our clinic we perform painless tooth extraction. We are able to guarantee this because we use state-of-the-art dental technology that minimises patient discomfort during the procedures.
The process of painless tooth extraction itself is always preceded by an assessment of the patient's dentition and health, so that the surgical treatment can be planned accordingly. After the procedure, appropriate wound care is necessary - the gauze that the dentist has placed on the gum should not be removed too soon. It is also important to brush and rinse the teeth gently so as not to disturb the scab.
Time healing of the gums after tooth extraction depends on several factors. Of great importance is which tooth has been extracted and whether the patient follows the instructions provided by the surgeon. Shortly after surgery, hot drinks and food should not be consumed, alcohol and smoking should be avoided, among other things. In addition, a soft diet is recommended for the first few days.
