Taking out a tooth that can be lifted out whole.
An extraction is not a failure and it is not a last resort we spring on you. Sometimes a tooth has less left than it needs, and spending several hundred pounds on a tooth that will not last is the worse outcome.
The tooth is loosened in its socket and lifted out. Most of the appointment is waiting for the injection to work, and the talking afterward.
If a tooth turns out to be more difficult than the x-ray showed, we stop rather than carry on, and either book a longer appointment or refer you.
Yes, and we talk about whether it needs filling before we take the tooth out rather than after. Back teeth often do not; front teeth usually do.
Most people do, but not on the same day if your job involves lifting. Bleeding restarts easily for the first few hours.
