Teeth Extraction

 

Your dentist will do everything they can to avoid a tooth/teeth extraction. However, in some cases, tooth extraction may be necessary for the patient's oral health.

 

Reasons for teeth extraction

*severely damaged or decayed teeth

*infection or risk of infection

*obsess

*overcrowding

*impacted wisdom tooth

 

Most teeth extractions are performed under a local anesthetic.

This means that you may feel some pressure but not any pain. Any discomfort you feel after the extraction should disappear in the next few days.

 

After your extraction, your dentist will give you specific instructions on how to care for the extraction area.

Consume food and drink low in sugar

Visit your dentist and hygienist regularly.

Regularly scheduled dental exams and cleanings will most definitely help to avoid teeth extractions.
