Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure performed at LA RIMAR CLINIC when preserving the tooth is no longer possible due to severe decay, gum disease, or other conditions affecting oral health. In this article, we will discuss the reasons for tooth extraction, the procedure steps, and post-extraction recommendations to ensure proper healing.

When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary

A dentist at LA RIMAR CLINIC may recommend tooth extraction in several cases, including:

  • Severe tooth decay: When decay reaches deep into the tooth and cannot be treated with fillings or root canal therapy.
  • Advanced gum disease: Chronic gum infections can lead to bone loss, making the tooth loose and unstable.
  • Impacted teeth: Wisdom teeth that do not have enough space to grow properly, causing pain or recurrent infections.
  • Trauma or fractured teeth: When a tooth is severely broken and cannot be restored.
  • Overcrowding: In orthodontic treatments, some teeth may need to be removed to create space for proper alignment.

Tooth Extraction Procedure

There are different types of tooth extractions depending on the case. At LA RIMAR CLINIC, we offer two main types of extractions:

  1. Simple extraction: Used when the tooth is visible in the mouth. The dentist numbs the area and removes the tooth using specialized tools.
  2. Surgical extraction: Required for impacted or non-visible teeth. It involves making a small incision in the gum to remove the tooth, followed by post-procedure care at LA RIMAR CLINIC.

Post-Extraction Care Recommendations

Dentists at LA RIMAR CLINIC provide the following guidelines after tooth extraction to prevent complications:

  • Place a sterile gauze pad over the extraction site and bite down for 30-45 minutes to stop bleeding.
  • Avoid rinsing or spitting forcefully in the first 24 hours to protect the blood clot that aids healing.
  • Refrain from smoking and consuming hot beverages to prevent complications.
  • Take pain relievers as prescribed by the dentist to manage discomfort and swelling.
  • Stick to a soft diet such as soups and juices during the first few days.
  • Maintain oral hygiene while avoiding direct brushing of the extraction site on the first day.

Quick answers to questions you may have

Visit LA RIMAR CLINIC immediately if you experience:

  • Persistent bleeding
  • Severe pain unrelieved by medication
  • Unusual swelling or discharge

Swelling is a normal reaction and can be minimized by applying a cold compress to the face for 10-15 minutes every hour during the first 24 hours.

It is best to avoid smoking for 48-72 hours to prevent dry socket and delayed healing.
