The Tooth Extraction Process
The tooth extraction process begins with a consultation to determine if a tooth extraction is necessary. We will take X-rays and look for signs of any additional problems that may be causing the problem. If a tooth extraction is necessary, the next step is to numb the area with a local anesthetic. After the area is fully numb, the tooth will be removed using specialized instruments. Depending on the type of extraction needed, the tooth may be removed in one piece or broken into smaller pieces.
Once the tooth is removed, we may need to place a few stitches to close the area. We will then provide you with post-operative instructions to help the healing process. This typically includes taking any prescribed medications and avoiding certain foods and activities. Most tooth extractions require a recovery time that can last for several days.
At Gold Standard Dentistry, we will do our best to make the extraction process as comfortable as possible. We understand that tooth extractions can be stressful, so we will provide you with all the information and support you need to feel at ease. We are here to help you every step of the way!
WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL
Many patients who have their teeth extracted are getting their wisdom teeth removed. Not all patients need to have their wisdom teeth taken out. Some wisdom teeth stay safely below the surface of the gums, or if they do erupt from the gums, they don’t cause pain or problems for the patient.
However, you may need to have your wisdom teeth removed if they’re causing you pain, harboring bacteria, or crowding out other teeth in your mouth. Your dentist will let you know if your wisdom teeth are likely to become a problem. Wisdom tooth extraction is a common procedure, because many patients don’t have enough space.
Signs Your Wisdom Teeth Need Removal
You may be able to tell that your wisdom teeth are causing problems. You’ll notice:
- Ear aches
- Headaches
- Pain in the jaw
- Inflamed or bleeding gums
