Consultation With Dentist as low as RM30
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure to remove a tooth that is beyond repair. It’s typically recommended for severely decayed, damaged, or impacted teeth, or for orthodontic purposes. Tooth extraction is a straightforward, safe, and pain-free process that ensures the health of your other teeth and gums. In Malaysia, it is an affordable and widely available solution for dental health issues.
Severely damaged or decayed teeth can cause intense pain, infections, and further complications if not addressed. Sometimes, retaining a tooth is not possible, and extraction becomes necessary to prevent harm to surrounding teeth and gums.
Removing a problematic tooth alleviates pain, sensitivity, and pressure caused by decay, infection, or impaction.
Extraction eliminates the source of severe decay or infection, protecting neighboring teeth and gums.
By removing overcrowded or impacted teeth, extraction creates space and prevents alignment problems.
Extraction may be necessary to make room for braces or aligners, ensuring proper teeth alignment.
The cost of tooth extraction in Malaysia typically ranges from RM 100 to RM 400, depending on whether it’s a simple extraction or a surgical procedure for impacted teeth.

The dentist examines your tooth and surrounding area. X-rays may be taken to assess the tooth’s condition and plan the procedure.

Post-Extraction Care
After removal, the dentist provides instructions to care for the site, such as managing bleeding, pain, and swelling.
Follow-Up (if needed)
In some cases, follow-up visits are required to monitor healing and address any concerns.
1. Is tooth extraction painful?
No, the procedure is pain-free as local anesthesia is used. After the extraction, some mild discomfort or swelling is normal and can be managed with prescribed painkillers.
2. How long does it take to recover from tooth extraction?
Recovery usually takes 7–10 days. Following your dentist’s post-care instructions will ensure faster healing.

Yes, but stick to soft foods like yogurt, soup, or mashed potatoes for the first 24–48 hours. Avoid hard, hot, or crunchy foods that could irritate the extraction site.
4. What are the risks of tooth extraction?
Complications are rare but may include infection, dry socket, or prolonged bleeding. Your dentist will provide guidance to minimize these risks.
