As trusted and caring dentists, a key part of our ethos is to preserve teeth.
However, we also know that in some cases, saving the tooth is not always possible. We want our patients to know that when they undergo a tooth extraction here in Camberley, it’s done only when necessary or when it is in their best interest, such as in cases of tooth overcrowding or the removal of a problematic wisdom tooth. Regardless of the reason, it is never a decision we take lightly.
That said, when we have to remove a tooth, your comfort and safety are always our top priority.
Gentle Tooth Removal – What Can You Expect?
Understandably, the thought of having a tooth removed can be a cause for concern, but in reality, the thought of extraction is usually far worse than the process itself. To put you at ease, here’s what you can typically expect:
- The administration of a light anaesthetic to ensure you feel comfortable – We can also provide various levels of sedation when necessary.
- Specific instruments are used to gently and comfortably loosen the tooth and remove it from the socket.
- Cleansing the area with a special disinfectant to prevent bacteria.
- The formation of that all-important blood clot – Clots form a protective barrier to prevent painful conditions like dry sockets. To expedite the clot, patients are asked to gently bite down on a piece of gauze.
Patients shouldn’t feel anything other than slight pressure when the tooth is being removed, and, in most cases, a simple tooth extraction here at Smile Success is completed within a few minutes.
