What Is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a tooth is carefully removed from its socket. This may be necessary when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or causing problems for surrounding teeth.
At Green Street Dental Practice, we perform both simple and surgical extractions using modern techniques to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
You may need a tooth extraction for several reasons:
- Severe tooth decay or infection
- Advanced gum disease (periodontal disease)
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
- Broken or damaged teeth beyond repair
- Baby teeth that have not fallen out naturally

Frequently Asked Questions
Is tooth extraction painful?
Tooth extraction is carried out under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. You may experience mild discomfort after the treatment, which can be managed with pain relief.
How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?
Most patients recover within a few days, but complete healing may take 1–2 weeks depending on the complexity of the extraction.
What can I eat after a tooth extraction?
It is best to stick to soft foods such as soup, yoghurt, and mashed potatoes for the first few days. Avoid hard, hot, or spicy foods.
What is dry socket?
Dry socket is a condition where the blood clot at the extraction site becomes dislodged, exposing the bone. It can cause pain and requires treatment by a dentist.
