What is Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. It may be necessary for various reasons, such as severe decay, infection, injury or to make space for orthodontic treatment. Our team uses the latest techniques and ensures you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
What to Expect During Your Visit
When you visit our office for a tooth extraction, you can expect compassionate and professional care. The procedure begins with a thorough examination and a discussion about the reasons for the extraction. X-rays may be taken to assess the tooth and surrounding bone. We then administer local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure you do not feel pain during the extraction. The tooth is carefully removed, with steps taken to minimize discomfort and promote healing. Finally, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you manage recovery and prevent complications.
Benefits of Tooth Extraction:
- Relief from Pain: Eliminates pain caused by severe decay or infection.
- Prevents Further Issues: Stops the spread of infection or damage to surrounding teeth.
- Improved Oral Health: Creates space for proper alignment and other dental treatments.
- Quick Recovery: Our gentle approach ensures a smooth and swift recovery process.
- Comprehensive Care: Follow-up appointments to monitor healing and address any concerns.
