Tooth Extraction

Every dentist’s priority is to restore, fix, and save the natural teeth of patients because they are ideal for chewing, biting, as well as improve the appearance of the face.

What to Expect

While the dental procedure is painless due to the sedation, you may feel slight pressure during the dental work. The dental process does not take long for the dentist to accomplish. However, there are some cases where the dentist will take some time and effort before they can successfully extract the affected tooth.

The Importance of Proper Care After Extraction

As much as possible, never suck on the extraction site or use your tongue to pry on the area. Expect a small amount of blood to come out of the wound from time to time. If heavy bleeding continues, immediately inform your dentist about the situation. Avoid brushing the teeth next to the extraction site as the cleaning process will disturb it. Continue brushing and flossing your teeth after the dental procedure to ensure proper oral health.

The dentist will prescribe pain relievers, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory medicines to help soothe the gums. Avoid mouthwash and alcoholic beverages after the extraction for 24 hours. You should also limit physical activity to avoid bleeding and help the blood clot to form in the wound.
