Tooth Extractions
Comfortable And Professional Tooth Extraction
At House of Tooth, we understand that the thought of having a tooth extracted can be daunting. Our team of highly skilled and compassionate dental professionals is dedicated to providing you with a comfortable and stress-free experience. Whether you need a simple extraction or a more complex surgical procedure, we are here to ensure your oral health is in the best hands.
There are two types of tooth extractions:
- Simple Extraction – Performed on a tooth that is visible in the mouth. Our dentist loosens the tooth with an instrument called an elevator and removes it with forceps.
- Surgical Extraction – Required for teeth that are not easily accessible, such as impacted teeth or teeth broken below the gum line. This method includes making an an incision in the gum to access the tooth.
Why Might You Need A Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction may be necessary for many reasons, including:
- Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a filling or crown, extraction may be the best option to prevent further infection.
- Gum Disease: Advanced periodontal disease can loosen teeth, making extraction necessary to protect the surrounding teeth and gums.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that do not emerge properly can cause pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth. Removing them can alleviate these issues.
- Overcrowding: In preparation for orthodontic treatments, such as braces, one or more teeth might need to be extracted to make room for proper alignment.
- Broken or Damaged Teeth: Teeth that are fractured or severely damaged due to trauma may need to be extracted if they cannot be effectively restored.
What To Expect During A Tooth Extraction
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. Our dentist will review your medical history, take X-rays, and perform a comprehensive examination to determine the best course of action. We will discuss the procedure with you in detail, addressing any concerns and answering all your questions.
The Extraction Procedure
Simple Extraction: If the tooth is visible and easily accessible, a simple extraction will be performed. A local anesthetic is administered to numb the area, ensuring you are comfortable throughout the procedure. The tooth is then gently untied and removed.
Surgical Extraction: For teeth that are not effortlessly open, such as affected intelligence teeth, a surgical extraction may be fundamental. This includes making a little entry point within the gum to get to the tooth. Local anesthesia or sedation options are available to safeguard your comfort.
Aftercare And Recovery
Post-extraction care is crucial for a smooth recovery. Our team will deliver you with thorough aftercare instructions, including:
- Managing Pain and Swelling: Use prescribed pain relievers and apply ice packs to reduce swelling.
- Maintaining Oral Hygiene: Keep the extraction site clean to prevent infection. We will advise on gentle rinsing and when to resume regular brushing and flossing.
- Dietary Recommendations: Stick to soft foods and avoid hot beverages or spicy foods for the first few days.
- Activity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous activities and smoking, which can impede the healing process.
