Approximately 22% of adults aged 20 to 64 have untreated dental caries, which can lead to the need for tooth extractions. While we strive to preserve natural teeth, extractions may be necessary in cases of severe decay, advanced gum disease, impacted wisdom teeth, or trauma. Our experienced team provides gentle and effective tooth extraction services tailored to patients of all ages.
Before extraction, our doctor conducts a thorough evaluation, including X-rays if needed, to assess the tooth and surrounding structures. We discuss the procedure in detail, ensuring you are informed and comfortable. Local anesthesia is used during the extraction to minimize discomfort, and the tooth is carefully removed to promote a smooth recovery.
Post-extraction care is crucial for healing. Guidelines include applying gentle pressure to control bleeding, managing discomfort with pain relievers or ice packs, and avoiding actions like smoking or using straws that can disrupt healing. Soft or liquid foods are recommended initially, with gradual reintroduction of solids. Maintaining oral hygiene is essential, avoiding vigorous brushing near the site until fully healed.
Follow-up appointments help monitor healing and address any concerns. Our family-focused team is dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care to ensure optimal outcomes for all our patients.
