Tooth Extractions at Twani's Dental Clinic

How Are Tooth Extractions Performed?

If you are experiencing severe tooth decay, broken teeth, infections, or other issues with your teeth, then feel free to contact our team for tooth extractions in Uganda. We will evaluate your case and determine what is the best option for you. Tooth extractions are a common procedure that can help alleviate pain and discomfort in patients.

Conditions That Can Lead to Dental Extractions

There are a number of conditions that can lead to a tooth extraction. Some cases may be treatable or avoidable if they are caught early on. However, if too much damage has already been done, then the only option may be a tooth extraction, which will eliminate pain and more damage, and will protect your oral health.

Here are some common conditions that can lead to dental extractions:

  • Severe tooth decay
  • Gum disease (periodontitis)
  • Tooth loosening
  • Broken or missing teeth
  • Dental crowding
  • Baby teeth that have not fallen out in time

Whatever the reason may be, our team of skilled and experienced dental surgeons know what it takes to safely remove damaged teeth to make sure that your pain is eliminated and your oral health is protected. We have performed a large number of tooth extractions, and our goal is always to do so in a safe and efficient manner. You should never deal with the severe pain and swelling of a damaged tooth, as it can become infected over time and worsen

After a Tooth Extraction

Depending on the procedure in which you received, stitches may be present. Whether you have stitches or not, it is essential that you avoid eating solid foods for a few days. Your dental surgeon at Twani's Dental Clinic will give you detailed aftercare instructions to prevent any infections. Additionally, you should follow the instructions in terms of when to take out your gauze, which will also prevent infections. You should brush and floss normally so bits of food do not get into the tooth socket. Lastly, if you experience any pain or discomfort, you may use over-the-counter medication, like ibuprofen, paracetamol or diclofenac.
