A dental procedure during which your tooth is completely removed from its socket Simple Exodontia/Forceps Extraction Extracting a tooth means removing the tooth with forceps, which must be appropriately selected. For maxillary teeth For mandibular teeth Use an elevator to luxate the tooth (straight elevator). Use a sterile gauze to form a pressure pack. Retract the cheek and place it over the extraction site. Instruct the patient to bite firmly on the pack for at least 30 minutes. This pressure aids in the control of bleeding and blood clotting. Slowly move the dental chair to an upright position. Provide the patient with postoperative instructions. Postoperative Care Control of Bleeding: The patients should receive the following instructions: After leaving, keep the pack in place for 30 to 45 minutes. Removing the pack too soon could disturb clot formation and may increase bleeding. Do not disturb the clot with your tongue or by rinsing your mouth vigorously.  Postoperative Care Control of Bleeding: Warn of lip biting due to anesthetized soft tissues. If bleeding continues and does not stop, call the dental office. Good oral hygiene is essential, gentle toothbrushing can start the day after the extraction. Halitosis often occurs following extraction or oral surgery. Post-operative Care Control of Pain: The dentist should provide the patient with instructions on pain control according to the procedure and extent of the surgery.  Post-operative Care Postoperative Diet: On the day of surgery, instruct patients to drink liquids and eat soft foods (such as Jelly, pudding, and soup), trying to eat on the other side of the mouth. Ensure not to eat anything too hot or cold. After 24 hours, or as soon as the patient can chew comfortably, the patient can begin to eat solid foods.  Dry socket A condition that can occur following extractions, when the blood clotting process is disturbed
