Tooth extraction in Guwahati.

When a tooth must go, a plan for what comes next.

A tooth extraction removes a tooth that cannot be saved — broken below the gum, decayed beyond repair or loose from gum disease — or a wisdom tooth that is impacted, keeps getting infected or has no room, under local anaesthetic so you feel pressure but not pain.

The details, thoughtfully explained ↓

The essentials

Does it hurt?
The area is numbed before the tooth is touched, so you feel pressure and pushing but not pain. Once the anaesthetic wears off the area is sore for two or three days, and after a wisdom tooth the swelling usually peaks on the second or third day; the painkillers the dentist recommends manage it. Pain that gets worse after day three should be checked.
How long does it take?
A simple extraction usually takes 15 to 30 minutes including numbing. A surgical wisdom tooth removal takes longer, often 30 to 60 minutes. The gum heals in one to two weeks, and the bone underneath fills in over the following months.
What does it cost?
The price of an extraction depends on whether it is simple or surgical and, for a wisdom tooth, on how it is positioned, and is given after the tooth has been examined and X-rayed. EMI / instalments are available.

Who needs it

  • A wisdom tooth at the back keeps swelling, aching or getting infected
  • A tooth has broken off at or below the gum
  • A tooth has become very loose

Saving the tooth comes first

Your own tooth is almost always better than the best replacement, so an extraction is advised only when a tooth cannot be kept. A badly decayed tooth can often be saved with root canal treatment and a crown, and a broken one can sometimes be rebuilt.

When a tooth does have to come out, you are told why, and what the alternatives are, before anything is done.

Wisdom teeth: when they need to come out, and when they do not

Not every wisdom tooth needs removing. One that has come through straight, can be cleaned and causes no trouble can stay.

Removal is advised when a wisdom tooth is impacted against the tooth in front, keeps causing infections in the gum flap over it, is decaying because it cannot be cleaned, or is damaging the neighbouring tooth. An impacted wisdom tooth needs a small surgical procedure. Complex cases are handled by a panel of specialists working as a team, under one treatment plan.

Planning for the gap before the tooth comes out

A gap left unfilled lets the neighbouring teeth tilt into it and the opposite tooth drift towards it, which can change your bite over the years, and the bone where the tooth was slowly shrinks.

Replacing missing teeth — with an implant, a bridge or a denture — is Dr. Abeda Parveen's specialism as a prosthodontist, so the replacement is discussed before the extraction, not after. Wisdom teeth are the exception: they are not replaced.

The first 24 hours

Bite firmly on the gauze for 30 to 45 minutes. For the rest of the day do not rinse hard, spit, use a straw or smoke, because each of these can dislodge the blood clot that protects the socket.

Eat soft, cool food on the other side, use a cold compress on the cheek for swelling, and take the painkillers the dentist recommends. Call the clinic if bleeding has not slowed after a few hours, or if the pain gets worse rather than better after the third day — that can be a dry socket, which is treatable.

ONE CONSIDERED STEP AT A TIME

What happens,
step by step.

Make every decision with clarity.

  1. 01

    Examination and X-ray

    Start of visit

    The tooth and its roots are checked on a digital X-ray, and your medical history and medicines are reviewed.

  2. 02

    Numbing

    A few minutes

    The area is numbed with local anaesthetic until you feel pressure but no pain.

  3. 03

    Removal

    Minutes to an hour

    A simple extraction usually takes a few minutes once the tooth is numb. An impacted wisdom tooth may need a small cut in the gum and stitches, and takes longer.

  4. 04

    Aftercare

    Before you leave

    You are given gauze, aftercare advice and painkiller guidance, and a review is arranged if stitches were placed.

Why have it done at Dental Artistry

One clinic, at Hatigaon Chariali, Guwahati.

  • Every extraction is planned with the replacement in mind by an MDS prosthodontist — implants, bridges and dentures are Dr. Abeda Parveen's specialism.
  • Digital X-ray, to see the roots and the position of a wisdom tooth before it is removed.
  • Impacted wisdom teeth and other complex cases are handled by a panel of specialists working as a team.
  • Open seven days a week; for sudden pain or swelling, message first so the clinic can tell you when to come.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Tooth Extraction & Wisdom Teeth: questions patients ask

Does a tooth extraction hurt?
A tooth extraction should not hurt, because the area is fully numbed with local anaesthetic first. You feel pressure and pushing as the tooth is loosened, but not sharp pain. Afterwards the area is sore for a few days, which the painkillers the dentist recommends usually control.
Should I have my wisdom teeth removed if they do not hurt?
Not necessarily. A wisdom tooth that has come through straight, can be cleaned and causes no problems can be left. Removal is advised when one is impacted, keeps getting infected, is decaying because it cannot be cleaned, or is harming the tooth in front. An X-ray shows which applies to you.
How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?
Most people feel much better within two or three days of a simple extraction, and the gum heals over in one to two weeks; most return to work or college the next day. Recovery after a surgical wisdom tooth removal takes a little longer, with swelling peaking on the second or third day.
What can I eat after a tooth extraction?
Stick to soft, cool or lukewarm food — curd, khichdi, dal, mashed potato, soft rice — for the first day or two, and chew on the other side. Avoid hot food and drinks until the numbness wears off, and avoid straws, smoking and alcohol for at least 24 hours, because they can dislodge the clot that protects the socket.
What is a dry socket?
A dry socket happens when the blood clot in the socket is lost or dissolves too early, leaving the bone exposed. It causes a deep, throbbing pain that starts or worsens two to four days after the extraction, often with a bad taste. It is not dangerous, but it is painful, so call the clinic — the socket can be cleaned and dressed to ease it.
Do I need to replace a tooth after it is extracted?
Usually, yes, because the gap lets the neighbouring teeth tilt and the bone shrink over time. The options are an implant, a bridge or a denture, and they are best discussed before the extraction. Wisdom teeth are the exception and are not replaced.
How much does a tooth extraction cost in Guwahati?
The price of an extraction at Dental Artistry depends on whether it is simple or surgical and, for a wisdom tooth, on how it is positioned. It is given after the tooth has been examined and X-rayed. The consultation is ₹500, and EMI / instalments are available. Treatment costs vary according to individual case complexity, materials and treatment requirements. A detailed treatment plan and estimate will be provided after consultation.
Is it safe to have a tooth out if I have diabetes, take blood thinners or am pregnant?
Usually yes, with planning — so tell the dentist about any medical condition and every medicine you take, including blood thinners, before the extraction. Blood thinners should not be stopped without your doctor's advice. In pregnancy, non-urgent extractions are usually timed for the middle three months.
