There are many reasons why a tooth may need to be extracted. Whatever the reason, our dentists are highly skilled and will ensure the procedure is as comfortable and pain-free as possible. We will use a strong local anaesthetic to completely numb the tooth and the surrounding tissues. This numbness will last anywhere from 2 hours to 6 hours. We also offer IV sedation to those patients who are very nervous.

Tooth Extraction Aftercare
Having your tooth extracted can be a little bit uncomfortable for a couple of days afterwards, but we can manage that with pain killers and it usually settles down quite quickly. Your healing time will largely depend on what kind of anaesthetic you received. If it was a local anaesthetic, it will be a lot less than if you were given IV sedation.
You will experience some bleeding, bruising and swelling in the first few days after surgery so be sure to follow your dentist’s recommendations closely when it comes to pain management, smoking, cleaning, eating and drinking.

When Do Wisdom Teeth Issues Arise
Between the ages of 18 and 25 wisdom teeth begin to develop. Wisdom teeth form in the back corners of the upper and lower jaw and may consist of one to four third molars. Some people develop no wisdom teeth while others only have one.
Wisdom teeth can become impacted when the jaw is too small to accommodate their growth. This requires dental treatment otherwise impaction may contribute to the wisdom teeth becoming infected.
Wisdom tooth infection occurs when the impacted wisdom tooth causes gum or operculum swelling and inflammation. Bacteria may colonise around the inflamed wisdom tooth leading to infection. If not properly cleaned and removed, trapped food may also cause plaque and bacterial build-up leading to infection.
Wisdom Teeth Development and Impact
Wisdom teeth have undergone an evolutionary change in their development due to modern civilisation. In earlier centuries before the use of cutlery to eat when humans needed to be able to chew raw or semi-raw meats, roots and other foods, wisdom teeth served a useful and powerful purpose
Over time modern living and diet have changed the way humans evolve physically, including smaller jaw development and impacted wisdom teeth. Some people still develop wisdom teeth and others do not. Wisdom teeth may erupt causing dental disorders and impacted teeth, requiring their extraction.

As you can see, it will take roughly 1-2 weeks for your tooth extraction site to completely heal; however, if you notice any of the following symptoms or signs, be sure to contact our doctors as soon as possible: Fever. Intense pain in the jaw or gums. Numbness in the mouth.
Does the procedure hurt? No, despite what you may have imagined, you have nothing to worry about. Having a tooth extracted, whether surgically or not, should not hurt. Usually, you'll feel a slight pinch as the area is numbed using anesthetic, then after this you will not be able to feel the procedure.
After an hour or so, once the blood clot is formed, it's vital for any recovery process that you keep hydrated, so drink plenty of water. Be careful not to swish it about too much in your mouth and avoid drinking through a straw – any sucking action will disturb the newly formed blood clot.
Local anesthesia is the most common treatment to numb the pain before extraction. Dentists will apply numbing substance to your gums near the tooth that is being extracted. They then administer a local anesthetic near the site of the extraction. The anesthetic will not eliminate the sensation.
In most cases, root canal therapy is a better way to treat an infected tooth than an extraction. However, there are exceptions, such as if the tooth has suffered extreme damage. Your dentist will carefully analyze your oral health before making a treatment recommendation.
