    Tooth Extraction Melbourne FAQs

    When a tooth is damaged beyond repair, dentists or oral surgeons may turn to tooth extraction as a solution. This dental procedure involves removing the tooth from its socket using specialised tools, and it may require local or general anaesthesia.

    You may need a tooth extraction if:

    • Your tooth is severely decayed or damaged beyond repair.
    • You have an infection in the tooth or the surrounding gum tissue.
    • Your tooth is impacted (stuck in the jawbone) or partially erupted, which can cause pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.
    • You have overcrowding in your mouth and need one or more teeth removed to create space for orthodontic treatment.
    • Gum disease causes loose teeth. Seek dental treatment to avoid more damage.

    Our dentist will examine your teeth and inform if you need a tooth extraction. The decision will depend on your dental health.

    Before your tooth extraction procedure, your dentist will provide instructions on preparing for the appointment. This may include:

    • Avoid food and drink for several hours before the treatment if you receive local anaesthesia.
    • Taking any prescribed medications as directed.
    • Arrange for someone to drive you to and from the appointment if you will be receiving sedation.
    • Following your dentist’s instructions carefully is important to ensure the tooth extraction procedure goes smoothly.

    In a tooth extraction treatment, the dentist begins by numbing the tooth area with local anaesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience. Using specialised dental tools, the dentist loosens the tooth from its jawbone socket and gently extracts it. Depending on the case, stitches may be applied to the gum tissue for optimal healing.

    During a tooth removal, anaesthesia is given to reduce pain. After some time, some discomfort is normal when the medication wears off. Your dentist can give you medication to help with pain.

    After a tooth extraction, expect swelling, discomfort, and bleeding for a few days. To help with healing and prevent infection, follow your dentist’s instructions:

    • Use ice packs to reduce swelling
    • Avoid hot, spicy, or hard foods
    • Clean your mouth with salt water 24 hours later
    • Don’t smoke or use tobacco products

    Don’t skip your follow-up appointments with the dentist.

    Tooth extraction recovery takes time, but proper care and following your dentist’s instructions can speed up healing. Seek professional advice if complications arise.

    Tooth extraction is generally safe, but some risks and complications can occur. It may include:

    • Pain and swelling around the extraction site.
    • Bleeding that lasts longer than expected.
    • Infection in the extraction site.
    • Damage to adjacent teeth, gums, or nerves.
    • A dry socket is a painful condition caused by a dislodged blood clot after tooth removal, which leads to severe discomfort and bad breath.

    Your dentist will discuss the potential risks and complications with you before the procedure and take steps to minimise them.

    When it comes to the cost of tooth extraction, there are several things that can impact how much you pay. The kinds of factors that affect the overall cost include the location of the tooth, the type of extraction you need (complete or partial) and the complexity of the service. In order to find out an exact estimate for the cost of an extraction, we recommend you book an appointment with one of our experienced dentists for a consultation. 

    After your tooth extraction Preston, your dentist will provide you with complete aftercare instructions based on your procedure. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions outlined by your dentist to ensure proper recovery from your extraction. 

    Oftentimes, you will be recommended rest, eating soft foods, rinsing your mouth and avoiding coffee, alcohol and smoking until after you have fully recovered from your tooth extraction.
