Tooth Extractions

Gentle Care When a Tooth Must Go

Sometimes, removing a tooth is the best step to protect your oral health. Whether it’s due to damage, decay, or overcrowding, a tooth extraction is a safe and routine procedure that can prevent pain and future dental problems.

At Patanjali Dental Centre, we make the process smooth, gentle, and as comfortable as possible using advanced techniques and compassionate care.

When is a Tooth Extraction Needed?

You may need a tooth removed if:

• The tooth is badly decayed or damaged beyond repair

• There’s a severe infection or abscess

• The tooth is loose due to gum disease

• You’re preparing for orthodontic treatment (like braces)

• A wisdom tooth is impacted or causing discomfort

• There’s crowding in the mouth

After a thorough examination and X-ray, your dentist will let you know if extraction is the right option.

What to Expect During the Procedure

1. Local anesthesia is given to numb the area

2. The dentist gently loosens and removes the tooth

3. Gauze is placed to control bleeding and help healing

4. Aftercare instructions are provided to ensure smooth recovery

The procedure is usually quick and virtually painless, thanks to modern tools and techniques.

Recovery and Healing

• Most people recover within a few days

• Avoid hard foods, smoking, and touching the area

• Use cold compresses and prescribed medicines to manage swelling and discomfort

• If needed, your dentist may discuss options like dental implants or bridges to replace the missing tooth
