Tooth Extraction In Dubai
Painless And Easy
Tooth extraction is the process of removing a damaged, decayed, or impacted tooth from its socket. This procedure is performed by a dental professional and is typically done under local anesthesia or sedation to minimize discomfort and ensure a smooth and successful extraction.

Tooth extraction is often associated with pain and fear, but it is actually a painless and stress-free process.

What is surgical tooth extraction and when is it needed?
When a tooth cannot be easily pulled out, surgical extraction is needed. This type of extraction involves removing gum tissue or bone to effectively remove the damaged tooth. At Micris Dental Clinic, we provide safe and painless surgical procedures to ensure proper healing and closure of the area with stitches.
If a tooth is impacted or has not fully emerged from the gum, a surgical extraction is usually required. Wisdom teeth are commonly removed through surgical extraction due to their location and impaction. If your dentist determines that surgical extraction is necessary, rest assured that our team of professionals will provide excellent care to make the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
What are the cases that need a tooth extraction?
Permanent teeth are meant to last your whole lifetime, but at certain times tooth extraction would be necessary. Here are some of the reasons why your teeth must be pulled out:
Tooth decay, damage, or trauma
Crowded mouth
In some cases, teeth may need to be extracted to help with orthodontic treatments. This is done when there isn't enough space in the jaw to fit all of your teeth. By pulling some teeth, there is room to move the remaining teeth and properly align them. In other situations, teeth may need to be extracted if they can't break through the gum due to a lack of space in the mouth.
Infection
If tooth decay or damage reaches the central part of the tooth, infection may occur. A root canal treatment is the first recommended dental procedure for such cases. However, if the infection has spread too far and antibiotics or a root canal cannot save the tooth, extraction is the best option to save your other teeth. At Micris Dental Clinic, our dental experts will assess your condition and provide the best course of treatment for your needs
Infection risk
Sometimes, people with weakened immune systems due to medical procedures such as chemotherapy or organ transplant are at risk of infection from a problematic tooth. To avoid this danger, extraction is necessary to prevent any potential infections that could cause further harm.
Periodontal disease
Periodontitis is a disease that infects the tissues and bones that support the teeth. When the bones can no longer support a certain tooth or teeth, extraction may be recommended by your dentist.
Impacted tooth
Wisdom teeth can sometimes cause pain and infection if they are impacted or stuck under the gums. In such cases, removing them is necessary to relieve discomfort and prevent further complications.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
What should you expect during the extraction procedure?
The dental extraction procedure usually begins with your dentist or oral surgeon administering local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth being pulled. In some cases, a stronger anesthetic may be used to prevent pain throughout your body. If the extraction is surgical, meaning some gum tissue or bone needs to be removed to pull out the damaged tooth, it may take longer than a simple extraction.
Once the tooth is removed, a gauze pad will be placed on the area to stop bleeding. In some cases, self-dissolving stitches may be placed to close the gum edges on the extraction site. You may experience some discomfort or pain after the procedure, which can be managed with painkillers and ice packs. It’s important to follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and prevent complications.
Overall, dental extraction is a common and usually straightforward procedure, with a focus on minimizing pain and ensuring patient comfort. Your dentist or oral surgeon will provide detailed instructions on what to expect before, during, and after the procedure, as well as tips on managing any pain or discomfort.
How should you prepare for a tooth extraction?
Preparing for a tooth extraction procedure is important to ensure that everything goes smoothly during the operation. Your dentist will typically take an X-ray of your tooth before scheduling the procedure to get a full view of the case. You should also inform your dentist of any medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, or vitamins, and any medical conditions you have, such as hypertension or diabetes, to ensure that your health is stable before the extraction.
To prepare for the procedure, you should wear comfortable clothing and not eat, drink, or smoke for six to eight hours before your appointment. It’s also important to brush and floss your teeth before coming to the clinic to ensure proper hygiene. If you have a cold or are experiencing nausea, it’s essential to speak to your dentist so that the procedure can be rescheduled.
By following these preparation tips, you can help ensure that your tooth extraction procedure is successful and that you experience a smooth recovery process.
How long does it take to fully heal after an extraction?
After a tooth extraction, the healing process typically takes one to two weeks. During this time, new bone and gum tissue will grow into the gap left by the extracted tooth. You may experience some discomfort and swelling in the first few days, but this can be managed with pain relievers and ice packs.
It’s important to follow your dentist’s instructions to ensure proper healing. You should avoid using a straw, smoking, or drinking hot liquids for the first few days after the extraction. You should also eat soft foods and avoid crunchy or hard foods until the area has fully healed.
Once the healing is complete, your remaining teeth may shift due to the gap left by the extracted tooth. To prevent this, your dentist may recommend replacing the missing tooth with an implant or fixed bridge to keep your bite aligned. It’s important to attend regular check-ups to ensure your oral health is maintained and to address any concerns or issues that may arise.

Tips to recover fast after extraction?
After your painless tooth extraction procedure, you need to give extra care for yourself so you can recover faster. Here are some tips you must consider:
- Bleeding or swelling is expected after the procedure. Bite down on the gauze pad given by your dentist for a few minutes until the bleeding stops.
- Limit your talking, eating or drinking especially on the first 2 hours after the extraction.
- To alleviate the pain after the anesthesia wears off, take pain-reliever or other medications prescribed by your dentist.
- Ice packs can also be applied to numb the painful area.
- Should you start eating, start with soft foods that do not require much chewing.
- Do not use straws, smoke, spit or any action that requires force in your mouth.
- When you brush your teeth, avoid the extraction site. Alternatively, you can rinse your mouth with ¼ teaspoon of table salt in a glass of lukewarm water.
- If you underwent surgical dental extraction, you must not brush or rinse your teeth for 12 hours.
- Limit strenuous physical activity for 24 hours after the extraction.
- Contact your dentist should there be any recurring pain or bleeding.
What is a dry socket?
Dry socket is a dental condition that occurs sometimes after a tooth extraction procedure. It happens when the blood clot that forms over your socket is displaced, causing the exposure of your bones and nerves.
If you feel severe pain for days after your extraction, inform your dentist so appropriate treatment can be applied. A sedative dressing will be placed over the socket for a couple of days to protect the exposed area until new clot forms.
