Tooth Extraction – Gentle Dental Care in Helsingborg
Sometimes it becomes necessary to remove a tooth, for example if it is damaged, infected, or cannot be saved. In some cases, this also applies to healthy teeth, such as wisdom teeth that do not fit in the mouth.
Book appointmentHow tooth extraction works
- Anesthesia: We ensure that both the tooth and gums are properly anesthetized so you avoid discomfort.
- Tooth removal: The dentist gently loosens the tooth and removes it in a gentle manner.
- Post-check: The wound is checked and you bite on a compress to stop any bleeding.
- Protective blood clot: A natural blood clot forms in the hole and acts as protection during the healing process.

After tooth extraction
- The first hours: Avoid rinsing your mouth, eating, drinking, or smoking until the anesthesia wears off, at least two hours.
- Pain and soreness: When the anesthesia wears off, it is common to feel soreness or difficulty opening your mouth. The pain can easily be relieved with over-the-counter pain relievers.
- Special situations: If the tooth is difficult to access, we start by taking necessary X-rays to carefully plan the treatment.
