How to know if you need a tooth extraction?

A consultation with a dentist will help you determine if a tooth requires extraction. There could be several reasons, such as breaking of the tooth beyond repair, severe gum infection, severe caries, or a cosmetic reason such as teeth straightening.

If you have a tooth that has undergone a root canal treatment but can still sense a foul smell coming from it, we strongly recommend consulting with a dentist.

A Regular or Routine Tooth Removal

Regular or routine tooth extraction happens when the tooth doesn’t require an extensive procedure; typically valid for most of our front teeth.

The routine tooth extraction procedure only lasts a few minutes. After the dentist completes the diagnosis, he will first apply topical sedation to numb the area of the tooth. To complete the extraction, the dentist will push the tooth slightly, releasing it from the bone and then pull it out. The procedure is painless and recovery time relatively quick, with most patients never experiencing discomfort.

Surgical Tooth Extraction

Surgical tooth removal may be necessary for most teeth located at the back of the jaw or if the tooth is broken. At 24hour Emergency Dentist, you can book a surgical extraction with our oral surgeon or with any of our highly experienced dentists.

An X-ray will be necessary before any surgical tooth extraction takes place, and the dentist will need to carry out a full dental assessment. For a successful procedure, the tooth may need to be broken in two, and each of the pieces extracted separately. The extraction is entirely pain-free, with sedation available (including intravenous sedation for our nervous dental patients).

Extraction of an impacted tooth

Whether you have an impacted wisdom tooth or an impacted canine, a surgical procedure is required to reduce the risk of complications in your oral and general health.

An oral surgeon conducts the extraction of an impacted tooth after he carries out a full dental assessment. X-ray of the tooth, and in some cases a 3D visualisation of the bone and nerves in the jaw, will be completed before the procedure.

Removal of a wisdom tooth

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the teeth growing at the back of the gums and are usually the last ones to erupt. Extraction of a wisdom tooth is one of the most common surgical dental procedures.

Our dentists and specialists are highly trained in providing emergency wisdom tooth extractions and have been serving London patients for over 18 years with more than 500 positive reviews.

Recovery after tooth extraction

The recovery following a tooth extraction is a relatively short period for most people, ranging between seven to ten days until the full healing of the gum. Patients can sense a mild discomfort after the sedation effect wears out, and the pain can be avoided with the help of over-the-counter pain killers.

To avoid a dry socket, we strongly recommend that you cease smoking until full recovery, consume soft foods only for a couple of days, and chew on the opposite side of the mouth. Avoid drinking with a straw, spitting, and sneezing (to the best of your abilities) within the first 24h after the extraction.
