Most tooth extractions are performed with local anesthesia, ensuring no pain during the procedure. Some discomfort may be felt afterward, but it is manageable.

Pain typically lasts for 1-3 days after the extraction. Mild discomfort can persist for up to a week but gradually subsides.

You can brush your teeth, but avoid the extraction site for the first few days. Gentle brushing is recommended to prevent irritation.

Healing time varies but generally takes 1-2 weeks for the gum tissue to heal, with complete bone healing taking a few months.

Stick to soft foods like soup, yogurt, and mashed potatoes for the first few days. Avoid hard, crunchy, or hot foods that could irritate the extraction site.
