Tooth Extraction
Tooth Extraction: Safe and Painless Removal at Dr. Barkha’s Dental and Cosmetic Clinic, Ahmedabad
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure performed to remove a damaged, decayed, or problematic tooth. At Dr. Barkha’s Dental and Cosmetic Clinic, we ensure a comfortable and painless experience using advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment.
When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extraction may be recommended for various reasons, including:
- Severe Tooth Decay – When a tooth is too damaged to be restored with a filling or crown.
- Gum Disease – Advanced periodontal disease can loosen teeth, requiring removal.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth – Wisdom teeth that fail to erupt properly can cause pain and infection.
- Overcrowding – In orthodontic treatments, some teeth may need removal to create space.
- Broken or Fractured Teeth – If a tooth cannot be repaired, extraction is the best option.
- Infection or Abscess – A severely infected tooth may need to be extracted to prevent the spread of infection.

Types of Tooth Extraction
At Dr. Barkha’s Dental and Cosmetic Clinic, we offer two types of tooth extractions based on your dental condition.
Simple Extraction
- Used for visible teeth that can be easily removed.
- Performed under local anesthesia to ensure a painless experience.
- The dentist loosens the tooth and gently removes it using special instruments.
Surgical Extraction
- Required for impacted, broken, or hidden teeth under the gums.
- Involves a small incision in the gum to access and remove the tooth.
- Performed under local anesthesia, with sedation options for comfort.
The Tooth Extraction Procedure
- Consultation and Examination
A thorough dental examination, including X-rays, is conducted to determine the best approach for tooth extraction. - Anesthesia and Preparation
Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area, ensuring a painless procedure. In some cases, sedation may be recommended for added comfort. - Tooth Removal
For simple extractions, the tooth is loosened and gently removed.
For surgical extractions, an incision may be made to remove the tooth safely. - Post-Extraction Care
After the tooth is removed, the area is cleaned, and gauze is placed to control bleeding. Stitches may be used for surgical extractions.
Recovery and Aftercare Tips
Proper aftercare is essential for quick healing and preventing complications. Follow these tips:
- Bite on Gauze – Apply gentle pressure to control bleeding for the first few hours.
- Avoid Rinsing or Spitting – This prevents dislodging the blood clot and reduces the risk of dry socket.
- Use Cold Compress – Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Eat Soft Foods – Stick to yogurt, mashed potatoes, and soups for the first few days.
- Avoid Smoking and Alcohol – These can delay healing and increase infection risk.
- Maintain Oral Hygiene – Gently brush around the extraction site and rinse with salt water after 24 hours.
What to Expect After a Tooth Extraction?
- Mild swelling and discomfort for a few days.
- Slight bleeding for the first few hours.
- Healing usually takes 1–2 weeks, depending on the extraction type.
- Avoid strenuous activities for 24–48 hours to promote healing.
