Tweed Heads Tooth Extraction
7+
Years in the Industry.
At Tweed City Dental, we provide tooth extraction services to help manage damaged, decayed, or problematic teeth. Our clinic in Tweed Heads is equipped to perform both simple and more complex extractions, including wisdom teeth removal. Extractions are recommended when a tooth is beyond repair or causing ongoing issues, such as pain, infection, or crowding.
We understand that the thought of a tooth extraction can be daunting. That’s why we focus on clear communication and a gentle approach to make the experience as comfortable as possible. We take the time to explain the process, including what to expect during and after the procedure. Aftercare advice is also provided to support healing and reduce discomfort.
If you need to discuss a potential tooth extraction or post-extraction cosmetic services call 07 5524 8888 to book a consultation.
Over
5,000 patients cared for.
Care & Support at Every Step
Our approach to tooth extractions prioritises comfort and clarity. We know that every case is different, so we take a tailored approach to each procedure. Whether it’s removing a damaged tooth or addressing impacted wisdom teeth, we follow evidence-based practices to minimise discomfort and support a smooth recovery.
Before the extraction, we discuss the options available and ensure that the reasons for removal are fully understood. After the procedure, we provide clear aftercare instructions to help manage any swelling or tenderness. Follow-up appointments are available if needed, and we’re here to answer any questions about recovery or next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect during a tooth extraction?
Tooth extractions typically begin with a thorough examination and discussion of the procedure. Local anaesthetic is used to numb the area, and the tooth is carefully loosened and removed. In more complex cases, such as impacted wisdom teeth, a small incision may be made. The area is then cleaned, and gauze is placed to help control bleeding. Recovery time varies based on the complexity of the extraction, but initial discomfort usually subsides within a few days.
What can I eat after a tooth extraction?
After a tooth extraction, it’s best to stick to soft, cool foods for the first few days. Options like yoghurt, mashed potatoes, and smoothies are ideal. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods, as they may irritate the area. Drinking plenty of fluids is important, but it’s best to avoid using a straw, as the suction can dislodge the blood clot that forms in the socket. As healing progresses, gradually reintroduce solid foods based on comfort.
How can I manage pain and swelling after a tooth extraction?
Managing discomfort after a tooth extraction involves a few key steps. Applying an ice pack to the cheek in short intervals can help reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain relief may also be recommended. Resting and keeping the head slightly elevated can minimise post-extraction bleeding. Following aftercare instructions, including avoiding smoking and strenuous activities, helps support the healing process. If pain or swelling worsens after a few days, it’s important to contact the dentist.
