Oral Surgery & Extractions
What are dental extractions?
Dental extractions are a common procedure where a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. This can be done for various reasons, such as severe decay, damage, overcrowding, or to prepare for orthodontic treatment.
During the extraction process, your dental professional will numb the area with a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Once the area is numb, they will use specialized tools to loosen the tooth and remove it from the socket.
After the extraction, you can expect some mild discomfort, swelling, and bleeding. Your dental professional will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent infection. This may include avoiding hard or crunchy foods, avoiding smoking or drinking through a straw, and taking over-the-counter pain medication as needed.
It's important to follow all aftercare instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and avoid complications.
