More about usMake an appointment
Simple and Surgical Extractions
During a simple extraction, Dr. Shweta Jain will numb the tooth and gum tissue, gently loosen the tooth with an elevator, and then remove it using dental forceps. Surgical extractions are more complex and are employed for teeth that may have broken off at the gum line or are yet to emerge from the gum.
Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal
- Reduced Risk of Oral Health Problems: Removing wisdom teeth lowers the risk of future oral health issues, including gum disease, tooth decay, and damage to adjacent teeth.
- Immediate Pain Relief: If you’re experiencing discomfort due to your wisdom teeth, extraction can provide immediate relief and improve your overall oral health.
Proper Nutrition After Wisdom Teeth Removal
Stick to a soft-food diet during the healing process, including pasta, rice, eggs, yogurt, and ice cream. Avoid hard, crunchy, and spicy foods that may irritate the surgical areas. Steer clear of using straws, as the suction can dislodge blood clots necessary for healing.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, the back molars in your mouth, can sometimes be impacted or cause discomfort. Our wisdom teeth removal procedure can alleviate pain and prevent potential issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, and bone loss. Symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth may include swelling, bleeding gums, bad breath, and difficulty opening the mouth.
Recovery and Aftercare
After the extraction, you may experience mild discomfort, bleeding, and swelling. Rest and follow your dentist’s post-surgical instructions to ensure a comfortable recovery. Avoid strenuous activities, use cold compresses to reduce swelling, and maintain oral hygiene with an antimicrobial mouthwash.
Do You Need Wisdom Teeth Removal?
In some cases, wisdom teeth grow in normally without causing any issues. However, impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth can lead to problems. Dr. Shweta Jain may recommend wisdom teeth extraction if you experience dental pain, food trapping around your wisdom teeth, gum disease, tooth decay, cyst development, or damage to nearby teeth or tissues.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental extractions?
Dental extractions involve the removal of one or more teeth from the mouth. It is a common dental procedure performed for various reasons, such as severe decay, overcrowding, infection, or impacted wisdom teeth.
Is dental extraction painful?
Dental extractions are typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you won’t feel pain during the procedure. However, some pressure or discomfort may be experienced during the tooth removal. After the extraction, your dentist will prescribe pain medication to manage any post-operative discomfort.
What are wisdom teeth, and why are they extracted?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of molars at the back of the mouth. They may need to be extracted if they are impacted (stuck in the jawbone), causing pain, pushing adjacent teeth, or leading to infection or gum disease.
What can I expect during a dental extraction procedure?
Before the extraction, your dentist will administer local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth. Once you’re numb, the tooth will be carefully loosened and then gently removed using specialized dental instruments. The procedure is relatively quick, and you’ll receive aftercare instructions to aid healing.
Is there any special care required after a dental extraction?
Yes, after a dental extraction, it’s crucial to follow the post-operative instructions provided by your dentist. This may include avoiding hard or hot foods, refraining from smoking, gently rinsing with salt water, and taking prescribed medications as directed.
Are there any risks associated with dental extractions?
Dental extractions are generally safe, but like any surgical procedure, there are potential risks. These may include infection, bleeding, damage to surrounding teeth or structures, or delayed healing. Your dentist will discuss these risks with you before the procedure.
How long does it take to recover from a dental extraction?
Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the extraction and the individual’s healing ability. In general, it takes a few days to a week for the extraction site to heal fully. Following post-operative care instructions diligently can help speed up the recovery process.
Can I eat normally after a dental extraction?
After a dental extraction, it’s advisable to stick to a soft food diet for the first few days. Avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods that can irritate the extraction site. As healing progresses, you can gradually reintroduce a regular diet.
Can I go back to work or school after a dental extraction?
Most people can resume their regular activities, including work or school, the day after a simple dental extraction. However, if you have multiple extractions or a more complex procedure, your dentist may recommend taking a day or two off for rest and recovery.
Are there any alternatives to dental extractions?
In some cases, dental extractions may be the best solution for certain dental issues. However, your dentist will always explore alternative treatments, such as root canal therapy or orthodontic procedures, before recommending an extraction. The best treatment option will depend on your specific dental condition.
