Is Replacement Necessary After Tooth Extraction?

Well, replacement is not needed after the extraction of wisdom teeth. But for all other teeth, replacement is advisable, to avert problems with your bite, as well as problems with jaw bone loss. Your dentist can recommend the best fitting option for you from an array of alternatives including bridges, crowns, dentures and dental implants to help restore the purpose and appearance of your teeth.

Is Wisdom Teeth Extraction Required? 

• The third molars are placed at the very back of your mouth known as wisdom teeth. You don’t have to remove them provided they are healthy, fully grown, placed fittingly, you can bite properly with its opposing teeth and you can easily clean them as part of the daily hygiene practices.
• Conversely, you’ll have to get rid of the wisdom teeth if you experience changes in the area of those teeth such as tumours, damage to the adjacent teeth, extensive tooth decay, gum disease, fluid-filled sacs (cysts), pain and repeated infection of soft tissue behind the lower last tooth.

For the best advice and treatment, speak to one of our expert dentists about the placement and health of your wisdom teeth, and what’s recommended for your situation.

What Should You Do After Tooth Extraction?

To curtail any swelling and assist in healing, it is advisable to do salt and warm water mouth rinses after each meal – for this, you’ll have to dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water.

Here are the Care Instructions that You Need to Follow after Tooth Extraction: 

• Firmly bite on the gauze pad for around ten minutes and then discard the gauze into a waste bin.
• If the bleeding happens, bite firmly on the extra gauze or a dry teabag for around 20 minutes. Avoid using cotton, wool and tissues because they tend to stick to the socket.
• After the tooth extraction surgery, a certain amount of swelling is normal. Besides, you can take two Panadol after every four hours to control the pain. In case, you still experience the pain, then you can take two Nurofen tablets after every eight hours. However, don’t take Nurofen if you have a history of peptic ulcer, gastric hypersensitivity, or if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Avoid troubling the socket by poking with the fingers, objects or food.
