Tooth extraction is a common procedure in dentistry and is usually performed in cases where the tooth is irreparably damaged, decayed, or has compromised the jaw structure. At Gürlek Dental Oral and Dental Health Clinic, we prioritize patient comfort and health by offering professional tooth extraction services.
1. Examination and Diagnosis:
The dentist assesses the condition of the tooth to be extracted and determines its position by taking x-rays.
If necessary, a general examination is performed to assess whether you are suitable for tooth extraction.
2. Anesthesia and Isolation:
Before the tooth extraction procedure, local anesthesia is applied so that no pain is felt during the extraction.
The area around the tooth is sterilized and the tooth is isolated in preparation for the extraction.
3. Extraction of the Tooth:
The dentist begins the extraction process using appropriate tools.
The tooth is gently removed by cutting the connections at its root. In most cases, this process is completed very quickly.
4. Wound Care and Healing Process:
After tooth extraction, a sterile gauze is placed over the empty socket to control bleeding.
According to the dentist’s instructions, care of the extraction site is performed, and the healing process is monitored.
Bleeding Control: Mild bleeding after tooth extraction is normal. Sterile gauze should be used to control bleeding, and in case of excessive bleeding, the dentist should be consulted.
Pain and Swelling: Mild pain and swelling may occur after tooth extraction. This can be managed with painkillers recommended by the dentist and ice applications.
Wound Care: According to the dentist’s instructions, the extraction site should be regularly cleaned and cared for.
Diet: After tooth extraction, soft and cold foods should be preferred, while hot and hard foods should be avoided.
Smoking and Alcohol: Smoking and alcohol consumption after tooth extraction can delay healing and cause complications.
