What Should I Expect During and After a Dental Extraction? – Know What’s Ahead

‍

Whether you’re having a simple tooth extraction or a more involved wisdom tooth removal, it's essential to know what to expect both during and after the procedure.

‍

During the Extraction:

‍

Anesthesia and Sedation: Dr. Dahiya will administer local anesthesia to numb the area. For more complex procedures, we offer sedation options to ensure you're relaxed throughout the procedure.
The Procedure: For a simple extraction, the tooth is loosened and carefully removed. Surgical extractions may involve making an incision in the gum or removing bone around the tooth.
Comfort: We use modern tools and techniques to minimize discomfort, and our compassionate team ensures you're as comfortable as possible.

After the Extraction:

‍

Healing Time: Recovery typically takes a few days for a simple extraction. Surgical extractions may require a week or more, depending on the complexity.

Post-Op Care: Follow our aftercare instructions carefully to manage swelling, discomfort, and to avoid complications like dry socket.
Recovery Tips: Keep your head elevated, avoid smoking, and follow a soft food diet to speed up your recovery.

How Long is the Recovery Time After a Tooth Extraction? – Get Back to Normal Fast

The recovery time for a tooth extraction can vary based on the type of procedure and the individual’s overall health. Typically:

Simple Extractions

Most people heal within a few days and can return to normal activities after 2-3 days.

Surgical Extractions

Full recovery may take 1-2 weeks, but most patients start feeling better within a few days. Dr. Dahiya will give you specific instructions to help speed up your recovery.

It’s important to follow all post-operative care instructions to minimize discomfort and avoid complications during healing.

Can I Drive Myself Home After a Tooth Extraction? – Plan Ahead

‍

If you undergo a surgical extraction or receive sedation, it’s important to have someone drive you home after the procedure. While simple extractions may not require assistance, sedation can leave you feeling drowsy or disoriented. For your safety and comfort, we recommend having a friend or family member assist with transportation.

Antibiotics and more...

We may prescribe antibiotics for you to take before and after the surgery. They will most likely be given if:

You have any infection at the time of surgery.
You have a weakened immune system.
You have a longer surgical procedure.
You have certain medical conditions.

You may receive intravenous (IV) anesthesia, which can range from conscious sedation to general anesthesia. After the extraction, someone will need to drive you home and stay there with you. We will provide you with post-surgery instructions that you must follow to ensure a speedy and safe recovery. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask us before you leave the office or give us a call.
