Contraindications for Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction should be postponed in the following cases:

• Acute oral infections
• Active infectious diseases (e.g., flu or respiratory illness)
• Exacerbation of chronic systemic diseases
• Uncontrolled diabetes
• Blood clotting disorders
• Hypertensive crisis
• First and third trimesters of pregnancy

In each situation, the decision is made individually by the dental surgeon after diagnostics and evaluation of the patient’s general condition.

Types and Methods of Tooth Extraction

There are two primary methods of tooth extraction, selected based on the cause of removal and the specific clinical situation:

1. Simple extraction. This method is used when the tooth is mobile or easily accessible. It does not require cutting the gum tissue and is performed using forceps or elevators.

2. Surgical (complex) extraction. This is required when removal of wisdom teeth, atypical positions, or severely damaged teeth are involved. The dentist performs a gum incision, may section the tooth into parts, use a dental drill, and apply sutures.

Both procedures are carried out under local anesthesia, ensuring a painless tooth extraction when all dental care guidelines are followed.

Stages of Tooth Extraction

The removal of a tooth follows a step-by-step approach and includes the following stages of tooth extraction:

1. Tooth removal. Using forceps or elevators, the tooth is loosened and gently removed from the tooth socket without damaging surrounding tissues. This may include removal of wisdom teeth, molar extractions, or other cases where teeth are often divided into several fragments.
2. Postoperative care. To stop the bleeding, a sterile gauze is placed in the socket. If needed, stitches are applied.

Modern dental surgery techniques make the extraction of teeth fast and painless. After the procedure, the dentist will give detailed instructions on oral hygiene, use of medication, and postoperative care to prevent complications like dry socket, support the clot that forms in the socket, and promote the growth of new bone.

If you think you might need a tooth removed, contact your dentist for a consultation and detailed planning of your dental care.

Postoperative Recommendations

To speed up healing and avoid complications after removal of a tooth, it is important to follow these guidelines:

• Do not eat or rinse your mouth for 2 hours after the procedure.
• On the day of dental surgery, consume only soft, cool foods.
• Avoid hot drinks, alcohol, and smoking for at least 2-3 days as they slow down healing.
• Take prescribed medications exactly as directed by your dentist.
• Do not touch the wound with your tongue, and avoid forcibly spitting or collecting saliva.
• Avoid physical exertion and bending your head down during the first 24 hours.
• If there is severe pain or swelling, use an ice pack on the cheek externally for the first 6-12 hours.

Following these recommendations helps prevent risk of infection and accelerates recovery.

How to Reduce Pain After Tooth Extraction?

Pain after removal of a tooth is a normal reaction of the body. To reduce discomfort, take sedative or pain relief medications recommended by your dentist, and avoid hot food and drinks. Applying a cold compress to the cheek for 10-15 minutes with breaks can also help. It is important to need to rest, avoid smoking, and not touch the extraction area with your tongue or hands.

How Much Does Tooth Extraction Cost?

The cost of removing a tooth depends on the complexity of the case and the stage of tooth decay or other conditions requiring extraction. Simple extraction of a molar or front tooth usually involves minimal intervention. In more complicated cases, such as extraction of a wisdom tooth, atypical tooth position, or crown destruction, dental surgery with additional materials may be necessary. The price also depends on the need for X-rays, the method used, and other factors.
