Extractions

Tooth extractions can be a daunting prospect, but they are sometimes necessary to prevent further pain and infection. There are many reasons why you might need a tooth extracted, including:

• Tooth decay that has progressed to the point where the tooth cannot be saved
• Gum disease that has destroyed the bone and tissue that support the tooth
• Impacted teeth that cannot erupt properly
• Teeth that are broken or damaged beyond repair
• Teeth that are causing pain or infection

When you have a tooth extracted, you will be either sedated or given local anesthesia to numb the area. This will help to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. After the tooth is extracted, your dentist will clean and disinfect the area. You may experience some pain and swelling afterwards, but this is usually temporary.

To help prevent further complications, it is important to follow your dentist's instructions carefully after your tooth extraction. This may include taking pain medication, applying ice to the area, and avoiding strenuous activity.
