A tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket. Many teens and adults get wisdom teeth extracted, but there are many other reasons why tooth extraction may be necessary.
At Dent@home, our highly skilled and experienced dental surgeons are dedicated to preserving your natural teeth. Tooth extraction is a last resort, only considered when other dental restorative methods—such as dental fillings or crown treatment—are insufficient to treat your teeth and your tooth is damaged beyond repair.
Additionally, those who are undergoing chemotherapy or are about to have an organ transplant may need compromised teeth removed in order to keep their mouth healthy.
When it comes to Tooth or Wisdom Tooth Extraction, there are many different circumstances in which this procedure is necessary.
For example, if a tooth has been severely damaged by disease or injury, then extractions may be needed.
In other situations, such as when multiple teeth have been lost from various causes over time – but not enough for dentures to be made – extractions might also be recommended.

We go above and beyond to deliver upon our promise of quality and care
At Dent@Home, our professional and experienced dentists perform tooth extractions at home with the utmost care and hygiene, ensuring they are as safe as those at a regular dental clinic. However, pulling teeth at home on your own is strictly not recommended.
Tooth extraction carries some risks, like any medical procedure, such as infection, nerve damage, and dry socket. However, our team, with their extensive knowledge and expertise, is well-prepared to handle these situations should they arise.
You can experience discomfort during tooth extraction, but anesthesia makes the procedure relatively painless. Post extraction, you may experience mild pain. However, if you follow prescribed pain medication and proper aftercare as recommended, you can manage the pain better.
Yes, you can eat after a tooth extraction, but it's recommended to wait until the anesthesia wears off to avoid biting your tongue or cheek. Start with soft, cool foods such as ice-cream and avoid chewing on the extraction site for the first few days to promote healing.
The cost of tooth extraction or removal depends on factors like the type of extraction—simple or surgical—the level of a dental cavity, the oral condition, the resources involved in the procedure, and a dentist’s expertise.
The cost of tooth removal at home in Mumbai varies between INR 1500 and 3000 for a tooth extraction and approximately INR 5000 for a Wisdom tooth extraction.
