TOOTH EXTRACTION
At High End Dental Clinic, our main goal is to preserve and keep your natural teeth strong and healthy for life. If your tooth has been damaged by decay or trauma, our dentists will try to restore it conservatively with a filling, crown or other treatment options. However, when the damage is too severe to be restored and a root canal treatment is not possible to save your tooth, your dentist may recommend a tooth extraction. Tooth extraction is typically a short procedure performed by the dentist.
Our dentists are experts on pain management and they will make sure you feel comfortable during the entire appointment.
Other reasons for tooth extraction:
- Orthodontic treatment – There are times when there is not enough space in the jaw for all the teeth to fit in. Your orthodontist will tell you if there's a need to create some room for teeth that are being moved in place.
- Impacted wisdom tooth – Your wisdom teeth may need to be removed if they are infected, decayed or causing pain. Wisdom teeth are often impacted or surrounded by bone and need to be removed.
- Pediatric teeth development – If a baby tooth is blocking a permanent adult tooth from coming into its correct position, your dentist may suggest tooth extraction.
What precautions should I take after extraction?
Avoid hot food or drinks until the anesthetic wears off. Do not be tempted to rinse the area for the first 24 hours. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours. Keep your mouth clean but brush gently around the extraction site.
