Tooth Extractions: A Trusted Solution for Severe Cases
Tooth extractions are one of the most common types of oral surgery. While preserving your natural teeth is always our priority, extractions may become necessary in certain severe cases, such as:
- Advanced Decay: When a tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a filling or crown.
- Infection: If a tooth infection threatens to spread to other parts of your mouth.
- Overcrowding: To create space for proper alignment during orthodontic treatment.
- Impacted Teeth: Commonly seen with wisdom teeth that fail to erupt properly.
If you experience these symptoms, contact our office for a consultation. Our team will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate action.
What’s Involved in a Tooth Extraction Procedure?
We understand oral surgery can feel intimidating, so we’re committed to making the process seamless. Here’s what you can expect when you choose Encompass Dental Studio:
Examination
Our dentists will assess the condition of your teeth and gums, focusing on the specific area that requires attention. This thorough assessment is crucial in determining the extent of the issue and developing a personalized treatment plan to address it. Utilizing advanced dental tools and techniques, the examination ensures that the necessary steps are taken to provide you with the best care for your oral health needs.
Procedure Preparation
We will guide you through the thorough preparation process upon scheduling your oral surgery. You may receive instructions on fasting before the surgery. Following pre-operative guidelines is crucial for a successful procedure. Trust that our dental team will provide you with all the necessary information and support during the preparation phase.
Tooth Extraction
Extraction is a common type of oral surgery performed daily worldwide. Before the extraction, the tooth is carefully removed, usually under local anesthesia, to ensure your comfort.
Post-Tooth Extraction Care
After a tooth extraction, post-care is crucial. Our team will review the instructions with you on the day of your appointment. However, we recommend most patients follow these guidelines:
- Stick to soft foods
- Avoid vigorous rinsing
- Gently rinse with salt water after 24 hours
- Keep the extraction site clean to prevent infection
- Avoid using a straw
- No strenuous physical activity
In case of discomfort, mild pain relievers are recommended. By following these guidelines, you ensure a smooth recovery and mitigate any complications.
Oral Surgery for Improved Oral Health
Oral surgery is vital in enhancing oral health outcomes, from treating gum disease to performing gum grafts. We utilize modern techniques and anesthesia options to ensure patient comfort during procedures. Individuals can achieve a healthier mouth by addressing inflammation and other oral issues through surgical intervention. Trust in our dentists’ expertise to provide tailored care that promotes optimal oral health and overall well-being.
