Why teeth may need to be extracted
Why teeth may need to be extracted
While preserving natural teeth is preferable, there are many circumstances where extraction becomes necessary to maintain oral health. Common reasons for tooth extraction include:
Severe decay
Damages to the tooth that compromise its structure beyond repair
Advanced periodontal (gum) disease
Impaction
Failure to erupt properly
Infection
and many more
Our team carefully evaluates each case to determine if extraction is the best course of action, prioritizing the long-term health and functionality of your smile.
Recovery from Teeth Extractions
Recovery from Teeth Extractions
After a tooth extraction, proper post-operative care is crucial for a smooth recovery process. Patients may experience some discomfort, swelling, and minor bleeding immediately after the procedure, which is normal and typically subsides within a few days. Our team provides comprehensive post-operative instructions tailored to each patient's needs to ensure optimal healing. This may include guidelines on managing pain with prescribed medications, applying ice packs to reduce swelling, and adopting a soft diet to avoid irritating the extraction site. It's essential to follow these instructions diligently to promote healing and minimize the risk of complications.
