Tooth Extraction in Faisalabad
We try to save a tooth where we can. When a tooth is too damaged, decayed or loose to keep, removing it can protect your mouth and stop the problem from getting worse.
Dr. Muhammad UmarBDS, Postgraduate Certificate in Dental Implantology

- The area is numbed and the tooth is removed.
- We give you aftercare advice and talk through replacing the tooth if needed.
Afterwards
- Follow the aftercare advice we give you.
- Do not rinse hard, smoke or drink through a straw while the area heals.
- Eat soft food on the other side of your mouth at first.
- Contact us if bleeding, pain or swelling gets worse.
