Tooth Extraction

An extraction means to have a tooth removed, usually when it has become unrestorable through tooth decay, periodontal disease or dental trauma.

At Hutt Dental Hub, we strive to solve any issues with fillings and other treatment methods and only decide by removal after thoroughly observing the tooth and determining that there is nothing else we can do. To prevent the need for extraction, we suggest you visit your dentist and hygienist regularly and book an appointment as soon as you feel pain or any change in your oral health.

At Hutt Dental Hub, we will strive to offer you the best and most suitable treatment method for your needs.

What to expect from an extraction

After determining you need an extraction, your dentist will first numb the area to lessen any discomfort with a local anaesthetic. We will ensure you are comfortable during the appointment and have a great experience at Hutt Dental Hub.

After the extraction, in most cases, a small amount of bleeding is normal. Your mouth will slowly fill in the bone where the tooth root was through the formation of a blood clot.

To avoid anything that might prevent routine healing:

• Don’t smoke
• Don’t rinse your mouth vigorously.
• Avoid drinking through a straw for 24 hours.
• Follow the diet your dentist recommends.

At Hutt Dental Hub, your dentist will explain all the signs that you need to be aware of and suggest any preventional tactics that will ensure you don’t have to have a teeth removal again. We can also refer you to a dental prosthetic specialist to help you get a perfect smile!
