When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

• If your wisdom teeth have grown in at an angle or are partially covered by gum tissue and have become impacted.
• If your tooth has become severely decayed or damaged.
• If space needs to be created for your orthodontic treatment.

The Extraction Process

Before we start with your extraction, we'll take a close look at your teeth. We'll also ask questions to find out more about your health history and any medication you're taking. This helps us plan the best way to remove your tooth and prepare for any potential complications with your extraction.

To keep you comfortable and calm during your procedure, we offer different ways to numb the area. We'll talk about these options and help you choose the one that's right for you. The extraction itself is pretty straightforward. We'll carefully remove the tooth from its socket, and then we'll make sure there's no bleeding and that your mouth is healing properly. We'll also give you some tips on how to take care of your mouth after the extraction.

Post-Extraction Care Tips

• Use over-the-counter pain relievers to help manage any discomfort you have.
• Avoid touching and rinsing your mouth for the first 24 hours after your procedure.
• Stick to earring soft foods, and avoid using straws for a while after your extraction.

The Alternatives to Extractions

While removing a tooth is often the best thing to do for really damaged teeth, there might be other options for you to consider. For example, a root canal can sometimes save a tooth that's badly infected. And if a tooth does need to come out, dental implants can be used, so you don't have to worry about having a gap in your smile!

Don't Let a Bad Tooth Ruin Your Smile

If you're dealing with persistent tooth pain or just have some worries about your teeth and gums, don't hesitate to give us a call. Early intervention for these oral concerns can often prevent more serious problems and may help you avoid the need for a tooth extraction altogether.
