Tooth Extractions In Walsall
Cheslyn Hay Dental Practice provides private tooth extraction services when either one or more teeth are required. We will assess your teeth’s health and condition to determine if an extraction is an ideal or only option.
Although a common procedure, dental extraction is the last resort when a tooth cannot be saved. We are experienced in molar extraction, wisdom teeth removal, and impacted tooth extraction. You may require tooth removal if there is severe tooth decay, impaction of wisdom teeth, extra teeth, or a tooth injury.
Our highly-trained team will eliminate pain and alleviate the discomfort you may be experiencing. We empathise with and have a great deal of experience in comforting anxious or nervous patients. Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have a damaged or broken tooth that is causing painful symptoms.
We use a local anaesthetic to numb the area so that you do not feel any pain. Following this, the tooth will be gently removed. You will only experience a feeling of slight pressure as the tooth is extracted. Recommendations will depend on your oral health. We might recommend dentures or dental implants to replace your missing tooth. These will improve function and comfort, and maintain your happy and friendly smile.

Common Tooth Extraction Questions
When Do You Need A Dental Extraction?
You may need a tooth extraction for several reasons. You may have overcrowding and require this treatment for cosmetic reasons. Alternatively, you may have severe tooth decay, gum disease, injury, or an abscess.
Adults sometimes need emergency wisdom tooth removal when there is not enough room for these teeth to emerge, resulting in an impacted or partially impacted tooth. You might also need a same-day emergency appointment and emergency tooth removal when an injury results in painful or cracked teeth. Contact Cheslyn Hay straight away.
What Does It Involve?
The dentist will numb the area using a local anaesthetic to ensure you do not feel any pain during the tooth extraction. As the dentist gently removes the tooth, you may feel slight pressure.
Following the extraction, you may feel temporary numbness or tingling. You can take over the counter painkillers if you need and you can soothe any swelling with a cold compress.
It is best to avoid strenuous activity, using mouthwash, and eating hot food for 24 hours. After 24-hours, you can rinse your mouth with a mixture of one teaspoon of salt in a glass of water three or four times a day. Be careful not to dislodge the blood clot while eating or cleaning your teeth and avoid smoking, which slows down the healing process.

Is removing the tooth the only option?
Your dentist may recommend a tooth extraction for various reasons but only when this is the best or only option. Tooth extraction is still reasonably common in dental practices, but dentists only carry out dental removal when the tooth cannot be saved.
If the tooth hurts, then you will likely be keen to have it removed to alleviate discomfort and eliminate pain. Understandably, you may feel nervous or anxious, but the treatment only takes a few minutes, and we can reassure you that the experience is not painful.
What's involved in a tooth extraction?
There are two types of extractions
- A standard extraction
- A surgical extraction
For a standard extraction, the dentist will administer a local anesthetic into the area before using an elevator to loosen the tooth. Once the tooth is loose the dentist will remove it using forceps.
A surgical extraction is not as straightforward. This requires an incision into the gums to gain access to the affected tooth. Although this can be done using a local anesthetic, there are some patients who prefer extraction under sedation.
Aftercare for extractions
The first 24 hours following an extraction it is best to;
Avoid strenuous activity
Avoid using mouthwash
Avoid the area when eating hot or cold food for 24 hrs (this can be done by using the other side of your mouth)
After 24 hours
Rinse your mouth with a mixture of one teaspoon of salt in a glass of water, 3-4 times per day
Take care when brushing your teeth to avoid bleeding.
Avoid smoking, as this slows down the healing process.
If you have any issues following an extraction contact an emergency dentist immediately.
