Tooth Extraction in Chișinău

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth, or of the root that remains of it, from the jaw under anaesthesia. We extract a tooth when its crown is destroyed or missing and the remaining root cannot be safely kept and used for further restoration.

This can happen after deep decay, a fractured tooth, earlier treatment or the gradual breakdown of the tooth tissue.

Before extraction the doctor assesses the position and condition of the root, the surrounding bone and tissues, takes an X-ray if needed and decides on the best method of removal.

Tooth extraction for a broken-down or decayed root

What patients often call a "rotten tooth root" is usually tissue badly destroyed by decay, or the remaining root of a tooth whose crown has already been lost.
Extracting a decayed root may be needed if the damage is too severe to restore, if there is inflammation, or if the root cannot serve as a reliable support for further treatment.
However, severe damage does not by itself mean that the root must be removed. First the doctor assesses its condition and whether it can be saved.

Stages of tooth extraction

1
Examination and explanation

The doctor examines the tooth, assesses its condition and explains why extraction is the best solution in your situation.
You will know how the procedure will go, how long it will take and what happens afterwards.

2
Anaesthesia

The anaesthetic is chosen according to the sensitivity and condition of the tooth.
Extraction is painless: you may feel only pressure.

3
Removing the tooth

The tooth is removed carefully, with no sudden movements and no unnecessary trauma to the tissues.
The doctor works gently, so that the socket heals well and the risk of complications stays low.

4
Check and advice

After extraction the doctor treats the socket and explains which sensations are normal in the first hours and days.
You receive clear instructions for care and recovery.

What happens without extraction

1
The pain may get stronger and become constant
2
The inflammation may spread to the gum and neighbouring teeth
3
The risk of swelling and complications grows
4
Treatment becomes more complex and more expensive over time
What can be solved now with a simple extraction may later require additional procedures.

Frequently asked questions

Is tooth extraction painful?

No. The procedure is done under anaesthesia, so there is no pain. You may feel only pressure or movement.

Will there be swelling after extraction?

Slight swelling is possible and is a normal reaction of the body. The doctor explains how to reduce it and when it is considered normal.

How long does the socket take to heal after extraction?

Initial healing usually takes 2 to 5 days. Full recovery of the tissues takes a few weeks.

Can I eat after extraction?

Yes, once the effect of the anaesthesia has worn off. In the first hours we recommend soft food and not chewing on the side of the extraction.

Do I need to take medication after the procedure?

Most often no. Medication is prescribed only when needed and on individual indications.

When can I plan an implant after extraction?

The timing depends on healing. The doctor determines it individually after a follow-up examination.
