Tooth extraction may sound daunting, but with modern dental techniques, it is a quick and painless procedure. At Brite Dental, we provide gentle and professional tooth extractions in Paisley, Bridge of Weir, Clarkston, and Edinburgh, ensuring a comfortable experience for our patients.

Why Might You Need a Tooth Extraction?

A dentist may recommend removing a tooth for several reasons, including:

  • Severe tooth decay that cannot be repaired
  • Advanced gum disease affecting tooth stability
  • Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or crowding
  • Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
  • Broken or damaged teeth that cannot be restored

The Tooth Extraction Process

1. Consultation & Assessment

Your dentist will examine your tooth and take X-rays to determine the best extraction method.

2. Local Anaesthesia

A numbing agent is applied to ensure a pain-free procedure.

3. Tooth Removal

The tooth is gently loosened and removed. For impacted or broken teeth, a surgical extraction may be necessary.

4. Aftercare & Healing

Your dentist will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Recovery Tips After Tooth Extraction

  • Bite down on gauze to help control bleeding.
  • Avoid smoking and drinking through a straw to prevent dry socket.
  • Stick to soft foods for the first few days.
  • Keep the area clean but avoid rinsing vigorously for the first 24 hours.
