Tooth Extraction in Thailand

Safe, Affordable Tooth Removal in Modern Thai Clinics

What Is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is a routine dental procedure where a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. Dentists recommend extractions when a tooth is too damaged to save, poses a risk to surrounding teeth, or interferes with orthodontic or prosthetic treatments.

There are two main types:

Simple extraction – for visible, easily accessible teeth
Surgical extraction – for broken, impacted, or hard-to-reach teeth, requiring incisions and sometimes stitches

Modern clinics in Thailand use digital imaging and local anesthesia to ensure the process is safe, precise, and as comfortable as possible.

When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?

Dentists may recommend extraction for several reasons, including:

Severe tooth decay or infection
Cracked or fractured teeth that cannot be restored
Loose teeth due to gum disease
Impacted or crowded teeth
Orthodontic treatment (creating space)
Damaged teeth interfering with dentures or implants

In every case, your dentist will evaluate whether the tooth can be saved through fillings, crowns, or root canal therapy before recommending removal.

What to Expect During the Procedure

A standard extraction visit typically includes:

Consultation and X-ray – To assess the root structure and surrounding bone
Anesthesia – Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area
Extraction – The tooth is gently loosened and removed
Post-care – You’ll receive instructions for aftercare and healing

Surgical extractions may take a little longer and require stitches. Most patients feel back to normal in 2–5 days.

Aftercare and Recovery

After a tooth extraction, it’s important to follow your dentist’s recovery guidelines:

Rest and avoid heavy activity for 24 hours
Use ice packs for swelling
Eat soft, cool foods and stay hydrated
Avoid smoking or drinking through straws
Take prescribed pain relief or antibiotics if needed

Healing usually takes a few days to a week. Your clinic may schedule a follow-up or offer guidance on long-term restoration, such as bridges or implants.

The procedure itself is painless thanks to local anesthesia. Some discomfort or swelling afterward is normal and easily managed with rest and medication.

That depends. Some back teeth don’t require replacement, but visible or functional teeth often should be restored with a bridge, implant, or partial denture.

It’s best to take it easy for 1–2 days, especially after a surgical extraction. Light travel or work is usually fine after that.
