- We’ll ensure you’re feeling calm before numbing your mouth with a light anaesthetic to help you feel comfortable during the procedure.
- Using special tools, the dentist gently rocks the tooth forward and backwards to remove it from the socket.
- Next, the socket is cleaned and disinfected to eliminate any bacteria.
- Finally, you’ll be provided with a small piece of gauze which you’ll need to bite down on to help a blot clot form.
