TOOTH EXTRACTION

Sometimes it is necessary to extract the tooth:

1. Highly decayed tooth that it is impossible to save it.

2. Badly damaged tooth

3. Root canal treatment applied but unable to save

4. Shaking tooth because of gum infection

5. Not dropped milk teeth (baby teeth) on time

6.  Curved tooth

7. Tooth inside the cyst or tumour

8. Not erupted tooth

 The points you should take care after extraction

• You mustn’t wash your mouth very often

• The compression must be fixed firmly. When you throw it away you shouldn’t put a new one. The new one won’t help to stop the bleeding much.

• Blood leakage is possible and going on for 6-24 hours. If it is bleeding a lot you should call your dentist.

• You can take pain killers. But this mustn’t be aspirin. It is better take the pain killer before the ache starts.

• You mustn’t smoke and drink alcoholic things for 24 hours

• You mustn’t control the extracted part with anything, included your tongue as well.

• Your gum will cover the extracted part soon. You should not worry when you see the jawbone.

• You had better not eat anything before the extracted part becomes normal.

• You should refrain from eating and drinking extremely hot or cold food. Please prefer eating soft and mild food.

• You had better clean the extracted part with mild salty water.

• Stitches can be taken in 7-10 days.
