Extraction of a tooth is a common procedure, which is necessary if your tooth has been damaged beyond saving. Usually, it is no cause for concern; after all, you can survive without one tooth.

Losing several teeth is also not a fun experience, as it can affect your smile and your confidence.

Multiple Tooth Extraction Procedure

Extracting multiple teeth is different from extracting just one. The procedure starts with a proper diagnosis of the affected teeth, for example, taking x-rays. This helps to assess how severe the problem is, as well as to identify the affected teeth. The affected teeth are then extracted, with the length of the procedure depends on the number of teeth. There is no limit to the number of teeth to be extracted, but practical reasons and the difficulty of extraction are taken into account when performing the procedure.

Multiple Tooth Extraction Possible Side Effects to Expect

After multiple tooth extraction, you can expect to experience some side effects. These include:
Bleeding – bleeding is common with the extraction of a tooth. With multiple tooth extraction, the level of bleeding may be higher than that of a single extraction. However, you can manage the bleeding by the use of gauze or immediate dentures.
Pain and swelling – you can expect to experience some pain and swelling after extraction of multiple teeth. The pain will be mostly concentrated in the teeth extraction areas. Swelling can occur around the neighboring teeth, cheeks, and at the side(s) of the face. Pain medications can, however, help to relieve the pain and inflammation.
Numbness – you can expect some numbness on the gums, the chin, tongue, lips, and other parts of the mouth and face due to the anesthesia used during the procedure. However, once it clears, the normal feeling will return.

Multiple Tooth Extraction Aftercare and Recovery

Aftercare is important after multiple tooth extraction to enable your gums to heal properly and avoid infections. To promote faster healing, make sure you take the medication provided after the procedure.

In the event of bleeding, place some gauze pads directly over the bleeding site and bite on to it (to apply pressure) for a few minutes. For pain and swelling, you can apply an ice pack on your face (externally) near the area that is affected.

Make sure you drink plenty of fluids after the procedure to help replace the lost blood. Sticking to a proper diet will also help you to heal faster. However, you should avoid hard foods for the first few days, since your gums will be sore after the procedure.
