When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extraction may be recommended in these situations:
Severe Decay or Damage When a tooth is too damaged by decay, fracture, or trauma to be saved with a filling, crown, or root canal.
Advanced Gum Disease Severe periodontitis can loosen teeth to the point where extraction is the best option for overall oral health.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth Wisdom teeth that are trapped beneath the gum, growing at angles, or causing crowding or pain often require extraction.
Orthodontic Treatment Sometimes teeth need to be removed to create space for proper alignment during braces or aligner treatment.
Infection Risk Compromised teeth that pose infection risks, especially in patients with weakened immune systems, may need extraction.
Types of Tooth Extraction
Simple Extraction For teeth that are visible above the gum line and can be removed with standard instruments. Local anesthesia numbs the area, and the tooth is loosened and removed. This is a quick procedure with faster recovery.
Surgical Extraction Required for teeth that are broken at the gum line, haven't fully erupted, or are impacted (like many wisdom teeth). A small incision may be needed to access the tooth. Though more involved, proper technique ensures manageable recovery.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth—the third molars that typically appear in late teens or early twenties—often require extraction because:
- They're impacted (trapped beneath the gum)
- They're growing at angles that damage adjacent teeth
- There isn't enough room in the jaw
- They're causing pain, infection, or cysts
- They're difficult to clean and prone to decay

What to Expect During Tooth Extraction
Before the Procedure We'll review your medical history, take X-rays to assess the tooth and surrounding bone, and explain the procedure. If you have concerns about anxiety, let us know—we'll ensure you're as comfortable as possible.
During the Procedure Local anesthesia completely numbs the extraction area. You'll feel pressure but no pain. For simple extractions, the tooth is loosened and removed. Surgical extractions may involve a small incision and sectioning of the tooth.
After the Procedure We'll provide gauze to control bleeding, detailed aftercare instructions, and prescriptions if needed for pain management or antibiotics.
Recovery After Tooth Extraction
First 24 Hours
- Bite on gauze for 30-45 minutes to control bleeding
- Apply ice packs to reduce swelling
- Rest and avoid strenuous activity
- Don't smoke, use straws, or spit forcefully (to protect the blood clot)
First Week
- Eat soft foods and chew on the opposite side
- Gently rinse with warm salt water after 24 hours

Follow-Up We'll schedule a follow-up if needed to ensure proper healing and discuss tooth replacement options.

Tooth Extraction FAQs
When is tooth extraction necessary?
Extraction is necessary when a tooth is too damaged to repair, severely decayed, affected by advanced gum disease, impacted (especially wisdom teeth), or needs to be removed for orthodontic treatment. We always explore alternatives like root canal treatment before recommending extraction.
Is tooth extraction painful?
The extraction itself is not painful because we use effective local anesthesia to completely numb the area. You'll feel pressure during the procedure but no pain. Afterward, some discomfort is normal but manageable with over-the-counter or prescribed pain relievers.
How much does tooth extraction cost in Bangalore?
Extraction costs vary based on whether it's a simple or surgical extraction, the tooth's location and condition, and whether multiple teeth are involved. Wisdom tooth removal typically costs more due to complexity. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation.
What is wisdom tooth removal?
Wisdom tooth removal is the extraction of the third molars, which typically emerge in late teens or early twenties. These teeth often cause problems due to impaction, crowding, or infection, making removal necessary. It's often a surgical extraction requiring specialized technique.
How long is recovery after extraction?
Initial healing takes about 1-2 weeks. The first 24-48 hours require the most care—rest, soft foods, and avoiding actions that could dislodge the blood clot. Most people return to normal activities within a few days. Complete bone and gum healing takes several weeks.
What are my options after tooth extraction?
After extraction, you can replace the missing tooth with a dental implant (most natural-looking permanent solution), a dental bridge (anchored to adjacent teeth), or a partial denture (removable option). We'll discuss the best option for your situation, or you may choose not to replace if it's a wisdom tooth.
