REMOVE: Gentle Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is cracked down the root, severely decayed to the bone, or harboring deep spreading infection that cannot be saved, the most appropriate clinical action is to REMOVE it. Extraction relieves severe pain, eliminates localized bacterial infection, and protects the surrounding bone and gum tissue.
Our Leicester emergency dentists use effective local numbing techniques so that you feel pressure rather than sharp discomfort. The problematic tooth is gently eased out, allowing your mouth to rest and begin healing promptly.
Unsavable decay, vertical root fractures, impacted wisdom teeth, or spreading abscesses.
Effective local anaesthetics and topical numbing ensure you remain comfortable throughout.
We gently preserve the bone socket so you can choose a dental implant, bridge, or denture later.
When We Recommend Removing a Tooth
- Persistent throbbing ache that makes eating impossible.
- Tooth broken off right at the gum margin with sharp ragged edges.
- Swelling and bad taste caused by stagnant bacteria inside the breakdown.
- Instant digital X-ray to examine root shape and nearby nerves safely.
- Complete local numbing so you feel no discomfort at all.
- Gentle atraumatic removal and soothing gauze pack for fast clot formation.
• Do NOT spit, vigorously rinse, or smoke: Allowing the natural protective blood clot to settle prevents dry socket.
• Gentle pressure: Bite softly on the clean gauze provided if mild oozing happens.
• Warm salt water baths: Rinse gently after meals to keep the area clean and fresh.
• Next Step (Replace): Once healed, we can discuss seamless replacement options so you never miss a tooth.
