Our experienced and compassionate team is here to ensure that you receive the best possible care during and after your tooth extraction.
Why Would I Need a Tooth Extraction?
There are several reasons why you may need a tooth extraction, including:
- Severe decay or damage: If your tooth is severely decayed or damaged, it may not be possible to restore it with a filling, crown, or other treatments.
- Impacted wisdom teeth: If your wisdom teeth are impacted or growing in at an angle, they can cause pain, infection, and other oral health problems.
- Orthodontic treatment: In some cases, orthodontic treatment may require the removal of one or more teeth to create enough space for proper alignment.
- Infection or abscess: If you have a severe infection or abscess that cannot be treated with antibiotics or a root canal, extraction may be necessary to prevent the infection from spreading.
What Happens During a Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction is a relatively simple procedure that typically involves the following steps:
- Examination: Our dentist will examine your tooth and take X-rays to determine the best approach for the extraction.
- Anesthesia: We will numb the area around your tooth to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
- Extraction: Our dentist will gently loosen the tooth from the socket and remove it.
- Post-operative care: We will provide you with instructions for aftercare, including pain management and oral hygiene.
Does Tooth Extraction Hurt?
With the use of local anesthesia, tooth extraction is generally a painless procedure. You may experience some discomfort or swelling after the procedure, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and cold compresses.
