Tooth extraction in Dodoma
Removal of badly broken, infected or loose teeth, and wisdom teeth that cause trouble. The dentist explains first whether the tooth can be saved instead.
Calm, careful and quick
Most extractions take a few minutes once the tooth is numb. You go home with written aftercare and a number to call, and the socket heals over the following two weeks.
How it works here
- Book a dental visit online or on WhatsApp.
- The dentist examines your teeth and writes a plan with prices.

What is tooth extraction?
After local anaesthetic, the dentist loosens the tooth in its socket and lifts it out. A tooth that is broken at the gum, or a wisdom tooth that is partly buried, may need a small cut in the gum and a stitch or two.
Once the gap has healed, you can discuss replacing the tooth, so that the teeth beside it do not drift.
Why treat it
Medical reasons
A tooth that is beyond repair keeps the infection and pain going. Removing it lets the jaw and gums heal.
The process
From assessment to results
The tooth is examined and, where needed, X-rayed. Tell us about blood thinners, diabetes, pregnancy or heart conditions before treatment.
Usually under thirty minutes:
- Local anaesthetic
- The tooth loosened and removed
- Gauze to bite on for thirty minutes
For the first day: no rinsing, smoking or very hot drinks, and soft food on the other side. From the next day, rinse gently with warm salt water after meals.
Stitches, if used, dissolve or are removed after a week. Pain that worsens after the third day should be checked.

Who treats you
Your dentist
Will it hurt?
You feel pressure but no pain during the extraction. Afterwards, ordinary painkillers usually control the soreness for two or three days.
Can a painful tooth be taken out the same day?
Often, yes. Very swollen teeth sometimes need the infection settled first.
What is a dry socket?
Pain a few days after an extraction when the clot is lost from the socket. It is more common in smokers. Come back and it can be dressed.
Should I take out a wisdom tooth that does not hurt?
Not usually. Wisdom teeth are removed when they cause repeated infection, decay or damage to the tooth in front.
