Comfort-focused tooth removal
Tooth extraction may be needed when a tooth is severely decayed, infected, crowded or damaged beyond repair. The aim is to remove the tooth safely while protecting the surrounding gums and bone.
Modern techniques and local anaesthesia help keep the procedure as comfortable as possible. Dr. Ratika Gupta explains why extraction is recommended and what alternatives may exist.
Reasons an extraction may be advised
- A tooth that cannot be saved by other treatment
- Severe infection or ongoing pain
- Advanced decay or fracture below the gumline
- Crowding before orthodontic treatment
- A problematic wisdom tooth
What to expect
The area is numbed before treatment begins, and the tooth is removed with controlled technique. You will receive clear aftercare instructions for bleeding, eating, brushing and pain relief, along with warning signs that need follow-up.
Tell the dentist about blood thinners, diabetes, pregnancy or other health conditions before the procedure.
