Tooth removal surgery procedure at our dental clinic in Addis Ababa
Local anesthesia is used by our dental surgeons to perform tooth extractions so you won’t feel any pain during the surgery.
Your dentist will use a fine needle for injecting local anesthetic to the gum surrounding your tooth. Before beginning the procedure, the dental surgeon will make sure the area is completely numb.
Custom-made dental instruments will be used to gently loosen your tooth. You shall not feel any pain, but you should have a feeling of pulling or pushing. The dentist will then extract the tooth and proceed to stop bleeding.
If needed, the surgeon will cut the gum to expose the tooth before extraction. Sometimes, the dentist may also need to drill into the tooth or remove it from the jaw bone.
It is completely normal for these procedures to take some time. Dental surgery is intended to be efficient and accurate but not necessarily fast. The dental professionals at our dental clinic have years of experience in all aspects of the dental extraction procedure.
What to do after your tooth is removed ?
To prevent infection and ensure a smooth healing :
- Keep the area around the missing teeth clean.
- Avoid hot foods, drinks, and mouthwashes for 24 hours.
- For at least two days, don’t touch, poke or prod the wound. For the next two days, rinse your mouth with warm, salty water at least four times daily.
- Avoid lifting heavy objects(don’t put any pressure on your jaw), drinking alcohol and smoking.
- Prefer soft foods until your teeth are able to chew harder foods.
- Regularly take over-the-counter painkillers like paracetamol and ibuprofen.
- Ice packs can be applied to the jaw to reduce swelling.
- If you do heavy manual work, you might need to take a full week rest and let your wound recover without interruption.
In case of abscess, excessive bleeding or pus draining from the wound, call immediately your dentist.
