Sometimes a tooth cannot be predictably repaired or may be causing pain, infection or damage to the surrounding teeth.

When removal is the most appropriate option, our team will explain the procedure and help you feel as comfortable as possible.

At Castle Bromwich Dental Care, we provide carefully planned tooth extractions in a calm and supportive environment.

What happens during an extraction?

The area is normally numbed with local anaesthetic, so you should remain comfortable during the procedure.

Some teeth can be removed simply using dental instruments. Others may require a surgical extraction involving a small opening in the gum or removal of a small amount of surrounding bone. Stitches may occasionally be required. Your dentist will explain what to expect before treatment begins.

Frequently asked questions

1. Does having a tooth removed hurt?

Local anaesthetic is used to numb the tooth and surrounding tissues. You may feel pressure or movement, but you should not feel sharp pain.

Some soreness and swelling can occur afterwards and should gradually improve as the area heals.

2. How long does recovery take?

Initial healing usually takes several days, although this varies depending on the tooth and the complexity of the extraction.

The socket will continue to heal over the following weeks.

3. What should I do after an extraction?

To protect the blood clot and support healing:

  • Do not rinse, spit forcefully or touch the area for 24 hours.
  • Avoid hot food and drinks until the numbness has worn off.
  • Eat softer foods initially.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day.
  • Do not smoke or vape.
  • Follow the pain relief advice provided.
  • Begin gentle warm salt water rinses the following day if advised.

4. What should I do if the socket bleeds?

A small amount of blood in your saliva is common. If active bleeding occurs, place the gauze provided over the socket and bite firmly for the recommended time.

Contact the practice if bleeding remains heavy or does not stop.

5. What is dry socket?

Dry socket can occur when the blood clot is lost or does not form properly. It can cause persistent throbbing pain, often beginning a few days after the extraction, sometimes with a bad taste or smell.

Smoking increases the risk. Contact us if you develop worsening pain after treatment, as the socket may need to be cleaned and dressed.

6. Are there any risks?

Possible complications include:

  • Pain, bleeding or swelling.
  • Infection.
  • Dry socket.
  • Damage to a neighbouring tooth or restoration.
  • Delayed healing.
  • A retained root fragment.
  • Temporary or, rarely, lasting altered sensation where nerves are close to the tooth.
  • Sinus involvement when removing certain upper teeth.

The risks depend on the position of the tooth and the complexity of the procedure. Your dentist will discuss any relevant risks before treatment.

7. Will I need to replace the missing tooth?

Not every extracted tooth needs to be replaced. This depends on its position, your bite and the condition of the remaining teeth.

Replacement options may include:

  • A dental implant.
  • A dental bridge.
  • A partial denture.
  • Leaving the space where appropriate.

Your dentist will explain the available options after assessing your mouth.

    I’m extremely happy with my teeth bonding and my new smile! From start to finish, I felt very comfortable and well looked after. The result looks really natural and has made a huge difference to my smile and confidence.

    Dr Zunezo Sadiq was professional, patient and really listened to what I wanted. I’m genuinely very pleased with the final result and would definitely recommend the practice to anyone considering cosmetic dental treatment.

    I have had a phobia of dentists for donkeys years, hence the problems I'm having now and have only been a patient here for months rather than years, but I would not go anywhere else. Dr. Zulfikar Alam is a wonderful dentist - he is patient, explains everything, reduces my anxiety and is excellent at his job. I would like to thank him for his patience and perseverance this week, after a very difficult extraction! Thank you so much and kind regards.

  • My Dental Practice. Reliable good doctors and very efficient.
