The Tooth Extraction Procedure

The following steps are involved in tooth extraction:

  • The first step involves an anesthetic to help you relax through the process.

  • The dentist will then grasp your tooth using forceps and gently rock it back and forth to loosen it.

  • Some surrounding gum tissues may also require to be removed to further loosen the tooth.

  • If a tooth is too hard to remove, it must be removed in pieces.

  • A clot forms at the site of the extraction. The dentist will place a gauze pad over it and you’ll be asked to bite on it VERY GENTLY.

In case a tooth that needs to be extracted is not properly visible outside the gum line, the dentist would have to resort to an incision. Gum tissues will be removed to make the tooth visible and then it will be extracted.
