Common questions
Is a surgical extraction painful?
It's done under local anaesthetic, so you usually feel no pain during the procedure. Some soreness and swelling afterwards is normal and is managed with the medication your dentist recommends.
How long does healing take?
Stitches usually come out after 7–10 days. Full healing varies from person to person and can take 2–3 weeks.
Is there an age limit?
No — it can be done at any age; your general health is taken into account.
How long does bleeding last afterwards?
Light bleeding can continue for 1–2 hours. If it lasts longer or is heavy, contact the clinic.
