Teeth extraction is a procedure to remove a tooth that is decayed, infected, or damaged beyond repair. Our dental team at The Dental Centre Ferndown uses modern anaesthesia to ensure it’s as comfortable as possible, with guidance on how to prepare and care for your mouth afterwards.

After the extraction, proper aftercare is essential to prevent infection and facilitate healing. We advise patients to bite down gently on a gauze pad to control bleeding, avoid smoking or strenuous activity, and stick to soft foods for a few days. Pain and swelling are common but manageable with over-the-counter or prescribed medications.

Maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding the use of straws, and following our specific instructions can help reduce complications and ensure a smooth recovery. If you experience persistent pain, swelling, or bleeding, contact us promptly for further assistance.

At The Dental Centre Ferndown we will give options to replace the extracted tooth such as Dental Implants or a Crown & Bridge solution.
