Tooth extraction is sometimes necessary for certain conditions and procedures, including wisdom teeth eruption, infection, or in the event of severe tooth decay. Most tooth extraction procedures are fairly simple and straightforward, but special care should be taken to avoid complications and to ensure a speedy recovery. When you visit for your tooth extraction, be sure to follow all pre-surgical instructions. With the use of anesthetic and/or sedation, you can expect your extraction to be painless and comfortable. You may experience a pressured sensation as the tooth is eased from the socket and extracted. When a tooth cannot be easily removed from a socket, a tooth may need to sectioned and removed in portions. This process is also fairly simple and easy to complete. Once the tooth has been fully extracted, the gum with be stitched to heal or the site will be preserved for implant placement.
Provided you follow all post-op specifications, including follow-up visits and restorative procedures, your tooth extraction will ensure your smile stays healthy, functional and beautiful.
