As a preventive-led practice, our team at Billingham Dental will do everything we can to try and prevent the need for tooth extraction, but unfortunately, there are times when they are the correct course of action.
Some of the most common causes for a tooth extraction include an impacted or infected wisdom tooth, overcrowding in the mouth, and damage or decay that is beyond treatment.
We’ll always administer a local anaesthetic before removing the tooth, so you don’t have to worry about feeling any pain during the treatment. Once the anaesthetic has worn off, you should expect to experience some pain where the tooth has been removed. This can normally be treated with painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen.
We will recommend replacement where applicable. If the tooth is being removed due to overcrowding or because a wisdom tooth is infected or impacted, then replacement is not applicable. If we’re removing a damaged or decayed tooth, then our team will be able to advise replacement options.
