🛠️ When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?

Tooth extraction may be recommended in the following situations:

Severe decay that cannot be treated with fillings or root canals
If a tooth is too damaged by decay, removing it helps prevent the spread of infection.

Impacted or misaligned teeth, especially wisdom teeth
Teeth that cannot erupt properly or are misaligned can cause pain or crowding, making extraction necessary.

Crowding in orthodontic cases
Sometimes teeth are removed to make space for proper alignment during orthodontic treatment.

Advanced periodontal disease
When gums and bone are too damaged, extraction may be the only way to protect oral health.

Trauma or fracture beyond repair
Severely fractured teeth that cannot be restored may need to be extracted to relieve discomfort.

Pre-orthodontic treatment to create space
Removing selected teeth can help align the bite or jaw more effectively during orthodontic care.

In all cases, our priority is to preserve natural teeth when possible. Extraction is only considered when it’s the most beneficial option for your oral health.


⏳ What to Expect After Tooth Extraction

Proper post-extraction care is essential for healing and comfort. For full post-operative care instructions, visit our after surgical treatment guide.

🔴 First 24 Hours

Bleeding is normal – Bite on clean gauze with gentle pressure to help a clot form and control bleeding.

Let the blood clot stabilize – Avoid rinsing, spitting, or using straws, as these actions may dislodge the clot and delay healing.

Apply a cold compress – Use an ice pack on the outside of your cheek in intervals to reduce swelling and inflammation.

Take pain relievers as directed – Use either prescription or over-the-counter medication recommended by your dentist to manage pain.

Rest and avoid physical activity – Keeping your head elevated and taking it easy helps minimize bleeding and swelling.


🟡 First Week

Eat soft, cool foods – Choose gentle foods like yogurt, soup, or mashed potatoes to avoid irritating the site.

Rinse with warm saltwater – Start 24 hours after extraction and repeat gently several times a day to keep the area clean.

Avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy food – These can delay healing, cause irritation, or increase the risk of complications.

Brush carefully – Maintain oral hygiene, but avoid brushing directly over the extraction site during the first few days.

Attend follow-up appointments – Your dentist will check the healing process and remove any stitches if needed.


💬 How Long Does Pain Last After a Tooth Extraction?

Day 1–2: Pain and swelling peak. Medications and ice packs help manage it.
This period is the most intense for discomfort, but symptoms are manageable with care.

Days 3–5: Pain should start decreasing. Some sensitivity is normal.
Swelling usually goes down, and the area begins healing more noticeably.

Day 7+: Discomfort generally subsides; gum tissue continues to heal.
At this stage, most people return to normal eating and hygiene routines.

Full healing: May take several weeks as bone fills in the socket.
Tissue and bone regeneration is gradual, and full recovery may extend over a month.

📌 If pain increases after a few days, contact your dentist to rule out dry socket or infection.


🧩 How to Promote Faster Healing

To support a smoother recovery:

Follow all aftercare instructions carefully – Your dentist’s guidance is essential for preventing complications and ensuring proper healing.

Avoid smoking and using straws for 3+ days – These create suction that can dislodge the blood clot and delay healing.

Apply cold compresses the first 48 hours – This helps reduce swelling and provides relief in the early stages.

Eat soft foods and avoid chewing near the site – Gentle foods protect the area while providing necessary nutrition.

Stay hydrated and rest adequately – Water supports tissue recovery, and rest allows your body to focus on healing.

 

🦷 Can a Dental Implant Be Placed Immediately After Tooth Extraction?

In many cases, yes—a dental implant can be placed immediately after tooth extraction if the surrounding bone is healthy and free from infection. This is known as immediate implant placement and can help reduce overall treatment time and preserve bone structure.

However, the suitability of this approach depends on several factors, including:

Bone density and volume – Adequate bone support is essential for initial implant stability.

Absence of infection – Active infections or periodontal disease may require healing time before implant placement.

Tooth location and function – Some areas, especially aesthetic zones, may benefit from a staged approach for optimal outcomes.

At Citydent, our experienced implant specialists assess your case thoroughly using 3D imaging and provide personalized guidance on the best timing for implant placement.
