Tooth Extraction Process

Before extracting the tooth, an x-ray is taken of the area to decide what appropriate technique shall be used to extract the tooth. A local anaesthetic is then administered to numb the tooth and its surrounding area. You will be closely monitored throughout the procedure in order to minimize discomfort.

Simple Extraction: These are the commonly performed extractions for most of the cases. After numbing the tooth, the dentist will loosen and then grasp the tooth with special dental instruments and take it out. Usually takes approximately 30-45 mins from start to finish.

Surgical Extractions: Theses generally are more complicated. A small incision (cut) into your gum is made. The gum and/or bone tissue may cover or surround a tooth in a way that makes it difficult for the dentist to access therefore, sometimes it’s necessary to remove part of the bone around the tooth or to cut the tooth in half in order to extract it. Your dentist may need to place stitches around the gum once the extraction has been completed.

Tooth Extraction – Recovery and Aftercare

Post-operative instructions are given at the end of your treatment which you must closely follow to ensure a swift and healthy recovery. Keep the wound clean to prevent infection and avoid anything that might prevent healing. In order for the healing process to work the area must be cleaned regularly. You must also

Avoid eating until the local anaesthetic wears off
Avoid mouthwashes and do not rinse your mouth for at least 24 hours
Avoid hot drinks, alcohol, and hard food
Choose to eat soft food until the area is healed
Avoid poking, prodding or brushing the wound for 1-2 days
Avoid smoking for 24-48 hours
Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours
After 24 hours rinse your mouth with warm saltwater

Expect some bleeding after extraction which is normal. When this happens you must sit in a right up position, with your head and shoulder raised. Gently bite onto the bite packs (gauze) given to you at the surgery for about 10-20 mins. If your experience soreness or discomfort, take whatever pain relief you would usually take for headaches but avoid aspirin which only encourages the bleeding. For any swelling apply ice packs and call the dentist right away.

Remember, when having a tooth removal, today’s modern technique and follow up care ( as recommended by your NW1 Dental Care dentist) are there for your benefit and comfort.

Wisdom Tooth Removal in Camden, London

Wisdom teeth are the last four of the large grinding teeth (molars) at the back of your mouth to come through.

Wisdom teeth surface usually by the time people reach their late teens or even at a later stage after the rest of milk teeth have been replaced by adult permanent teeth. Due to their late arrival, they can sometimes be problematic as they press against the existing teeth and compete for space. Some get stuck while erupting, leaving a flap of gum over the erupting tooth. Others are known to over-erupt or grow too long.

While many people have no troubles with a wisdom tooth and some might even never have them, unfortunately, some people suffer pain, swelling, and even infection. NW1 Dental Care can help such patients alleviated their problems by usually prescribing over-the-counter antibiotics and mouthwashes to cure problems. However, depending on your case or if medication fails to resolve the issue, we emove your wisdom teeth to provide a permanent solution to your discomfort and pain.

Wisdom Tooth Removal in London - NW1 Dental Care

Wisdom teeth removal means having one or more of the third molars (your wisdom teeth) at the back of your mouth taken out. Wisdom teeth removal is amongst the most common of our NW1 Dental Care oral surgery procedures. Our dentist will examine your case and then make a decision about the necessity for wisdom teeth removal. The procedure takes place under a local anaesthetic.

After your wisdom tooth extraction or impacted wisdom tooth removal, as with any surgery, it is natural to experience some swelling or bleeding.

Testimonials

Had an absolutely amazing experience at NW1 Dental care, I hadn’t had a professional clean in years and had let my teeth get into quite a state. I had been very anxious about seeing a dentist after having bad experiences in the past but I bit the bullet after seeing an ad for NW1 on instagram then reading some positive reviews. My dentist Ioanna was lovely and chatty and talked me through everything, gave me an immaculate clean and offered some advice on products and methods for keeping better care of my teeth all without condescension. It was more like being at a spa than being at the dentist, I had never had such a positive experience with a dentist before. 100% would recommend.

I was very pleased with the work done on my teeth that actually left me with a Hollywood Smile! Thank you Anima, Lydia and all those working at NW1 Dental Care

Juliet Hardwicke

After moving to London, I was on the hunt for a new dental practice. I read some reviews of various places and settled on NW1 Dental Care and I am so glad I did! It’s one of the best dental experiences that I have had. From start to finish, from receptionist to dentist, the whole thing was and is painless and easy. The staff are friendly and informed and the premises are conveniently located near transport links and very welcoming.

I’ve had a few appointments in the past from check ups to hygiene and have never been disappointed. Most recently I had the Zoom Whitening treatment. I’ve never had any whitening treatment before so wasn’t sure what to expect, but the staff talked me through it and made me feel very comfortable. It was easy and actually quite relaxing!

Even after moving half way across London, I still consider NW1 Dental as my practice!

Big thank you to all the staff, especially Dr Anima Bodane.

I came here after my friend who visits this practice regularly recommended me to come. She had said that the atmosphere was super friendly and the work would be really professional. She was not wrong. My implant journey experience has been flawless. I am so happy with the result and how the team worked together to get me back the smile I thought could never have. Thank you again for giving me back the confidence that I had lost over the years and I hope this helps recommend more people to come in and get the smile they deserve.

All measures have been taken to make attending appointments as safe as possible, which has allowed me to get issues fixed before they get worse. All the staff are friendly and I love my dentist (Dr Hudda). I am also impressed because a few years ago, my mother was visiting and she broke a tooth and within an hour of it breaking, they fit her in and fixed it.
