What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction

If you’ve never had a tooth extraction before, it’s natural to feel apprehensive. Here’s what you can expect with us:

Comprehensive Evaluation

We’ll start with a thorough exam and X-rays to assess the condition of your tooth and surrounding structures.

Pain-Free Procedure

On the day of your extraction, we’ll use local anesthesia to numb the area completely. For more complex cases or anxious patients, sedation options are available.

Efficient Extraction

Our expert dentist uses advanced techniques to remove the tooth carefully, minimizing disruption to surrounding tissue.

Post-Procedure Care

We provide detailed aftercare instructions to support a quick and smooth recovery. From managing discomfort to foods to avoid, we’ve got you covered.

Common Reasons for Tooth Extractions

Tooth extraction may be necessary for a number of reasons, including:

• Severely decayed or damaged teeth that cannot be saved with fillings or crowns.
• Wisdom teeth removal to prevent crowding, infection, or impaction.
• Preparation for orthodontic treatment to make space for proper alignment.
• Periodontal (gum) disease leading to loose or infected teeth.
• Trauma or injury resulting in irreparable tooth damage.

Trust us to guide you through the process with expert recommendations and tailored care.

Post-Extraction Recovery Tips

Healing properly after a tooth extraction is key to avoiding complications. Here are a few tips to help you recover quickly:

• Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• Stick to soft foods like soups, yogurts, and mashed potatoes.
• Avoid drinking through a straw to prevent dislodging the clot.
• Keep the extraction site clean, but avoid vigorous rinsing for at least 24 hours.

Our team will provide you with everything you need to know for a successful recovery.
