Hearing “you need a tooth extraction” often brings anxiety. But at The Smile Makers Dental Clinic, Khar West, Mumbai, we make the process safe, gentle, and stress-free.

Pain and Swelling

• Mild discomfort is normal for 2–3 days.
• Swelling peaks on day 2, then subsides.
• Cold compresses and prescribed pain relief help.

Diet After Extraction

• Stick to soft foods like soups, yogurt, and smoothies.
• Avoid spicy, hard, or very hot foods.
• Stay hydrated but avoid using straws (they may dislodge the clot).

Healing Time

• Initial healing: 1–2 weeks.
• Full gum and bone healing: a few months.
• Follow-up ensures proper recovery and replacement planning if needed.

Dr. Manoj Bodhwani, our prosthodontist, often guides patients on replacing extracted teeth with implants, bridges, or dentures to restore function.
