Depending on the level of the infection the dentist will cut away gum and bone tissue that cover the tooth. After that, the forceps, grasp the tooth and gently rock it back and forth to loosen it from the jaw bone and ligaments that hold it in place.
After the tooth extraction, a blood clot forms in the socket. The dentist will pack a gauze pad into the socket and have you bite down on it to help stop the bleeding.
Then the dentist will place a few stitches self-dissolving to close the gum edges over the extraction site. The blood clot in the socket breaks loose, exposing the bone in the socket.
This is a painful condition called dry socket. If this happens, your dentist will place a sedative dressing over the socket for a few days to protect it as a new clot forms.
