What Is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is a dental procedure involving a profound local anaesthesia where a heavily damaged, decayed, or problematic tooth is carefully removed from its socket.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth can sometimes become impacted, painful, or infected when there is not enough room for them to grow properly. In more severe cases, an emergency tooth extraction may be needed to relieve discomfort and prevent further complications to surrounding teeth and gums.

FAQ About Tooth Extractions
Is tooth extraction painful?
Local anaesthesia is used to help ensure the procedure is comfortable. Most patients experience pressure rather than pain during treatment.
How long does a tooth extraction take?
The length of treatment depends on the complexity of the extraction, but many routine extractions can be completed during a standard appointment.
How long does recovery take?
Initial healing often occurs within a few days, although complete healing can take several weeks depending on the extraction and individual circumstances.
Can wisdom teeth be removed?
Yes. Wisdom teeth may be removed if they are impacted, painful, infected, or affecting neighbouring teeth.
What can I eat after a tooth extraction?
Soft foods such as yoghurt, soup, mashed vegetables, and smoothies are generally recommended during the early stages of recovery.
