Benefits of Tooth Extraction
Infected Teeth
Infected teeth cause a lot of pain and affect physical health. Removing severely infected teeth relieves pain and protects other neighboring teeth from becoming infected.
Broken Teeth
Dentists try to save teeth but some are so damaged that a tooth extraction is necessary. Bond Street Dental dentists can remove damaged and broken teeth without pain.
Impacted Teeth
Tooth extractions are needed for orthodontic reasons. Wisdom teeth can crowd out others. Baby teeth don’t always fall out as permanent teeth grow. Both can result in impacted or overcrowded teeth.

Two Types of Tooth Removal
Depending on the position of the damaged, infected or problematic tooth, it will be extracted in one of two of the following ways:
Simple Extraction
A general dentist does simple tooth extractions to remove visible teeth, for example molar tooth extraction. The dentist will administer a local anesthetic to numb the extraction site so the patient won’t feel anything. The dentist will then use an elevator to lift the tooth up and then dental forceps to grasp and extract it.
Surgical Extractions
An oral surgeon does complex tooth extractions to remove not easily accessible teeth in the mouth, such as teeth that haven’t erupted or have been fractured under the gums. Wisdom tooth removal is an example of surgical extraction.
We’ve explained how surgical extractions work in the section below.
Tooth Extraction Surgery
The oral surgeon will administer: local, IV, or general anesthesia
Your gum tissue will be incised to expose the infected, damaged or problematic tooth.
The bone around the tooth may need to be removed before extraction. The oral surgeon will perform bone grafts if necessary.
Your teeth may require sectioning, a standard procedure that involves cutting a tooth into sections and extracting each section at a time.
Following the procedure, you’ll need to bite on a gauze pad for up to 45 minutes to form a blood clot to begin the healing process. The oral surgeon will give you detailed aftercare instructions you will need to follow to have a speedy recovery.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom tooth extraction is a type of surgical extraction that some people require in their late adolescence. Your wisdom teeth are your “third molars” that don’t erupt until you’re about seventeen years old. The emergence of these teeth can cause gum infection and tooth or jaw pain. If your wisdom teeth are impacted, they will need to be removed.

Dental Implants
Following your tooth extraction procedure, you may want a dental implant to replace your missing tooth. Dental implants are the superior choice for tooth replacement because of their comfort, durability and resemblance to natural teeth.

When will I be able to eat and drink normally again?
For two to three days after your tooth extraction, you should eat only soft foods like soup, oatmeal, mashed potatoes and pasta. You can slowly add solid foods back into your diet after three days.
How should I care for my mouth after the extraction?
When you’re recovering from tooth extraction, you should take either the medication prescribed by the oral surgeon or over-the-counter painkillers to ease pain, apply an ice pack to your cheek to alleviate swelling, rest for 24 hours following the procedure, rinse your mouth out with warm water and salt, and brush and floss your teeth avoiding the extraction site.
