Frequently Asked Questions
How is a surgical tooth extraction different from a regular tooth extraction?
Surgical tooth extraction involves the removal of teeth that cannot be accessed easily, such as impacted wisdom teeth or fractured teeth. It often requires cutting through gum tissue and possibly the bone.
What is the expected recovery timeline after a surgical extraction?
Recovery typically takes 7-14 days, with swelling and discomfort decreasing after the first few days. Follow-up visits are essential to ensure proper healing.
Are there any complications that could arise after the surgery?
Complications are rare but may include infection, prolonged bleeding, or damage to nearby nerves. These risks are minimised with proper care and follow-up visits.
How is pain managed during and after the procedure?
Anaesthesia is used during the procedure to prevent any discomfort. Post-surgery, prescribed pain relievers or over-the-counter medication can help manage any mild discomfort or swelling.
When can regular activities be resumed after surgery?
Most patients can return to normal activities after 2-3 days of rest. However, it's important to follow any specific aftercare instructions and attend follow-up visits for a full recovery.
