Although permanent teeth are meant to last a lifetime, there are various reasons why a tooth extraction might be needed. A very common reason involves a tooth that is too badly damaged from either trauma or decay to be repaired. Other reasons for a tooth extraction might be a crowded mouth, infection or the risk of infection.
At Dr Nathan’s Dental Surgery our dentists routinely perform in chair wisdom teeth and deciduous (child milk tooth) extractions.

Generally, no. Despite what you may have heard or imagined, a tooth extraction should not hurt. Usually you’ll feel a slight pinch as the area is numbed using anaesthetic.You should not feel the actual extraction.
Swelling, pain and bleeding are the usual symptoms of having teeth removed. Call your dentist immediately if you experience excessive bleeding, or unbearable pain.
