When it comes to oral health, understanding when a tooth extraction is necessary is crucial. That is why our dentist and team are proud to offer tooth extractions here at Carolina Avenue Dental Care.
Understanding Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction, the process of removing a tooth from its socket, is a common procedure that may be needed for various reasons, such as severe decay, infection or impaction. Signs you may need a tooth extraction include:
- Intense pain or swelling around a tooth
- Severe tooth decay or infection
- Overcrowding, leading to alignment issues
- Impacted wisdom teeth causing discomfort
Your Tooth Extractions Experience
Tooth extraction is a carefully planned and executed procedure. Our skilled dentist will first conduct a thorough examination, possibly including X-rays, to determine the need for an extraction. The process involves:
- Numbing the Area: Local anesthesia is applied to ensure a pain-free experience.
- The Extraction: Using precise techniques, the tooth is gently removed from its socket.
- Post-Extraction Care: We provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent complications.
Benefits of Tooth Extraction
- Alleviates Pain and Discomfort: Extraction removes the source of oral pain.
- Prevents Further Oral Health Issues: Such as the spread of decay or infection.
- Prepares for Further Dental Work: Like orthodontics or dental implants.
- Reduces the Risk of Infection: Especially in cases of severe decay or impacted teeth.
