Tooth Removal at The Dentists Of Didsbury
TOOTH REMOVAL
Because there is nothing better than natural tooth structure, here at The Dentists of Didsbury, we’ll always try to and recommend trying to avoid tooth removal wherever possible, however, this isn’t always appropriate or feasible and a tooth extraction is required.
Whether you’ve been struggling with problems with wisdom teeth or need to have teeth removed to make space to straighten them, we’re on hand to make your treatment as relaxed, comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Why You Might Need a Tooth Removed
There are a few reasons why a tooth might need to be taken out, for instance because it is:
-
Badly damaged by decay or trauma
-
Loose because of gum disease
-
Out of alignment, making space for braces
-
An impacted wisdom tooth causing discomfort
Whatever the reason, we’ll always talk you through your options first and only recommend an extraction if it’s truly the best choice for your mouth health and general wellbeing.
What to Expect
Before starting treatment, we’ll explain exactly what we’re going to do and make sure you’re completely comfortable. We use a local anaesthetic to gently numb the area, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure — just a little pressure.
The tooth is carefully eased out, and once it’s been removed, we’ll give you time to relax and recover before you can go about the rest of your day. Most tooth extractions are relatively quick and straightforward.
Aftercare
Looking after the area properly helps it heal quickly and comfortably. We’ll provide you with clear, simple aftercare instructions, but here are the basics:
-
Bite down gently on the sterile gauze pad to help stop bleeding.
-
Take it easy for the rest of the day — no strenuous activity.
-
Avoid rinsing or hot drinks for the first 24 hours.
-
Eat soft foods and keep the area clean.
-
If you have any soreness, over-the-counter pain relief can help.
Our team is always here if you have any worries after your appointment. Just give us a call — we’d much rather you check in than sit at home feeling unsure.
Replacing Your Tooth
Before removing the tooth, we’ll always discuss this if the removed tooth will leave a gap so you know your options beforehand and plan your treatment accordingly.
We can help you explore replacement options such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures. We’ll talk you through what would suit you best once the area has healed or, if appropriate, provide an immediate replacement.
