Dental health problems can sometimes require a tooth extraction. As Dehadent Oral and Dental Health Clinic, we have prepared this guide to educate our patients about the tooth extraction process and its aftermath, and to provide a comfortable treatment experience.

What is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is the surgical removal of untreatable teeth. Extraction may be necessary for reasons such as decay, infection, impacted teeth, or gum disease. The goal is to eliminate oral problems and maintain oral health.

How Does the Tooth Extraction Process Work?

• Examination and Assessment: Your dentist evaluates the condition of the tooth and the necessity of extraction using a detailed examination and digital imaging (X-ray, 3D CT scan).
• Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered during the extraction, making the procedure painless and comfortable. Sedation or general anesthesia options are also available when necessary.
• Tooth Extraction: The tooth is carefully removed by a specialist under sterile conditions. Surgery may be required for impacted teeth.
• Healing and Follow-Up: Necessary precautions are taken to stop bleeding after the extraction, and the patient is informed. The healing process is closely monitored.

What Should You Consider After Tooth Extraction?

• Bleeding Control: Apply gentle pressure with gauze in the first hours.
• Oral Hygiene: Cleanse the mouth without damaging the extraction site.
• Diet: Choose soft, warm foods for the first few days.
• Pain and Swelling: Pain relievers recommended by your doctor can be used; ice is helpful for swelling.
• Smoking and Alcohol: Not recommended because they negatively affect the healing process.
• Follow-Up Appointment: It is important to attend your follow-up appointment on the date specified by your doctor.

Who Requires a Tooth Extraction?

• Severely decayed or infected teeth
• Empty or partially erupted wisdom teeth
• Teeth that have lost support due to gum disease
