Tooth Extraction
What is tooth extraction?
Tooth extraction is a dental process where a tooth is carefully taken out from its socket in the gum. Often called tooth pulling, this procedure is performed by a general dentist, oral surgeon, or periodontist to protect your oral health and prevent future dental problems.
When is Tooth Extraction Needed?
- Severely damaged teeth caused by cavities, injuries, or infections.
- Teeth overcrowding, which can affect proper alignment.
- Gum infections (periodontal disease) that loosen the teeth’s support structure.

Key Steps in Tooth Extraction by Dr. Vikas Pakhare
Tooth extraction at Goodfaith Healthcare Clinic is carried out with complete care, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience for every patient. Here’s how Dr. Vikas Pakhare ensures a smooth and hassle-free procedure :-
- Numbing the Area (Anesthesia): To make the procedure painless, a local anesthetic is carefully injected around the tooth. This ensures that you remain comfortable throughout the treatment.
- Accessing the Tooth: For simple extractions, the tooth is gently loosened using an elevator tool. If the tooth is harder to access, a small incision in the gum may be made to reach it easily.
- Loosening the Tooth: The tooth is slowly loosened from its socket using an elevator, ensuring minimal discomfort while separating it from the surrounding bone.
- Tooth Removal: After the tooth is properly loosened, it is carefully removed using dental forceps, ensuring a smooth and precise extraction.
- Cleaning the Socket: Once the tooth is removed, the socket is thoroughly cleaned to clear any debris, promoting a healthy healing process.
- Stitches (If Required): In some cases, stitches may be placed to help the gum heal faster and ensure a better recovery.
With Dr. Vikas Pakhare’s expertise and patient-friendly approach, you can be confident of receiving the best tooth extraction services at Goodfaith Healthcare Clinic, Hinjewadi.
Recovery Period After Tooth Extraction
The recovery period after a tooth extraction varies for each person. Generally, it takes 1 to 2 weeks for the extraction socket to heal completely. However, the surrounding bone and soft tissues may take a little longer to recover. In some cases, minor changes in the nearby bone and tissue may occur as part of the natural healing process. With proper care and following your dentist’s advice, you can ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.
