Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It is recommended when a tooth is too severely damaged, decayed, or infected to be saved by other treatments, or when removal is needed to support orthodontic treatment.
At FG Cosmo Dental, extractions are performed under local anaesthesia to ensure you feel no pain during the procedure. We take care to make the experience as comfortable as possible and provide clear aftercare guidance for a smooth recovery.
Don’t ignore the signs — early treatment is faster, simpler, and less costly.
Decay that has destroyed too much of the tooth for a filling or crown to be effective.
A tooth damaged beyond repair by trauma, fracture, or advanced gum disease.
An infected tooth that has not responded to root canal treatment may need to be removed.
Removing a tooth creates space for orthodontic treatment or allows other teeth to align correctly.

Removing a severely damaged or infected tooth provides immediate and lasting relief from pain.
Extraction eliminates the infected tooth, preventing bacteria from spreading to surrounding teeth and bone.
Removing a damaged tooth prevents decay and infection from affecting neighbouring healthy teeth.
Sometimes removing a problematic tooth is the most effective step toward better overall oral health.
Extracting overcrowded teeth creates the space needed for braces or aligners to work effectively.
Most patients recover within a few days with proper aftercare and return to normal activities quickly.
We examine the tooth and take X-rays to assess the roots and surrounding bone before planning the extraction.
The area around the tooth is numbed fully so you will not feel pain during the procedure.
The tooth is loosened carefully and removed with minimal disturbance to surrounding tissue.
We provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and help you avoid complications.

No. Local anaesthesia is used to numb the area before the procedure, so most patients feel pressure rather than sharp pain. We also explain aftercare clearly to support a smoother recovery.
Most patients recover within a few days. Following aftercare instructions carefully speeds up healing.
Avoid smoking, hard or crunchy foods, and drinking through a straw during the early healing period.
