Why Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

Tooth extractions may be necessary for various reasons, including:

  • Severe Decay or Infection: When a tooth is too damaged to be repaired, extraction may be the best option to protect your overall oral health.
  • Overcrowding: Removing one or more teeth can help create space, especially for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.
  • Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth or other teeth that don’t emerge properly can cause pain and may need to be removed.
  • Gum Disease: In advanced cases of gum disease, tooth removal can help prevent further complications.

What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction

Our team ensures a comfortable experience throughout the extraction process. First, we numb the area around the tooth with a local anesthetic. In certain cases, we may also offer sedation options to help you feel at ease. During the procedure, the dentist will carefully remove the tooth, using specialized tools to minimize discomfort. Afterward, we provide detailed care instructions to promote healing.

Post-Extraction Care

Proper care following an extraction is essential for smooth healing. We recommend:

  • Gently biting on gauze to reduce bleeding
  • Applying an ice pack to manage swelling
  • Avoiding strenuous activity for 24 hours
  • Eating soft foods and drinking plenty of fluids
  • Following all care instructions provided by our team

If you experience any discomfort or complications, please contact Pier Dental promptly so we can assist with your recovery.
