Tooth Extraction Treatment Ipswich
Tooth extraction is the process of removing the tooth. This maybe the only option if a tooth is heavily decayed, broken down or associated with an infection. Also an orthodontist may request teeth to be extracted due to severe crowding and prior to teeth straightening process (braces or Invisalign).
At Goodna Family Dentist, we understand that the thought of having a tooth extracted can be stressful. But our experienced dental team is here to make the tooth extraction treatment as safe and comfortable as possible.
During a tooth removal treatment, our dentist uses local anaesthesia and other comfort measures to ensure a pain-free experience. In some cases, we may also provide sedation options to help you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure. We take the time to carefully remove the tooth, while minimizing discomfort and ensuring optimal healing.

Tooth Extraction Process
During a tooth extraction, our dentists will numb the area around the affected tooth using local anesthesia to ensure you don’t feel any pain during the procedure. For more complex extractions or multiple extractions, we offer sedation options to help you relax throughout the treatment.
Once the area is numb, the dentist will gently and carefully remove the tooth. If needed, we will provide you with information about tooth replacement options, such as dental implants or bridges, to restore your smile and oral function.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need a tooth extraction?
Tooth extractions are recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, infected, or causing crowding. It may also be necessary for wisdom teeth that are impacted or causing pain.
Is tooth extraction painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the extraction. Some soreness or discomfort may be experienced afterward, but this is manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and proper aftercare.
How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?
Recovery typically takes a few days. You may experience mild swelling or discomfort, but following the post-operative instructions carefully will help ensure a smooth and quick healing process.
What should I eat after a tooth extraction?
Stick to soft foods like yogurt, soup, mashed potatoes, and smoothies for the first 24–48 hours. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods, as well as using straws, which can disrupt healing.
What is a dry socket, and how can I prevent it?
A dry socket occurs when the blood clot at the extraction site becomes dislodged or dissolves prematurely, exposing the bone and nerves. You can prevent it by avoiding smoking, drinking through a straw, and vigorous rinsing after the extraction.
