Simple Extraction. Performed on teeth that are visible in the mouth. The dentist uses an elevator to loosen the tooth and forceps to remove it. The discomfort level is usually low with this type of teeth removal, and recovery may be easier.

Surgical Extraction. Performed on teeth that are not easily accessible in the mouth. This may be because they have not erupted through the gum completely, or they have been fractured under the gum line. It typically requires an incision to the connective tissue to gain access to the tooth to be removed, which makes it a more complex procedure than a simple extraction.

Keep the gauze in place for 2 hours after your procedure. This helps to control bleeding by forming a blood clot.

Rest for 24 hours following the extraction and avoid exercise as directed.

Don’t rinse, spit, use a straw, or suck on any candy, to prevent any blood clot from dislodging.

After 24 hours, rinse your mouth with a salt solution. This will help kill bacteria in the mouth.

Avoid smoking and drinking.

Avoid hot, carbonated, hard, and spicy food. Instead, choose soft foods, such as soups, yogurts, and pureed fruits, for example.

To help decrease swelling when lying down, use pillows to elevate your head and avoid sleeping sideways.
