Why would I need a tooth extracted?
There are many reasons a patient may require tooth extraction. Perhaps, your tooth is poorly positioned in your mouth, has developed an abscess, become badly decayed, or you have developed
periodontal disease.
Will I experience pain during my tooth extraction?
No, due to our
sleep dentistry services, our tooth extraction procedures are painless. Depending on whether the extraction is simple or surgical, you will be placed under the appropriate level of anesthesia. If you experience any discomfort during the extraction procedure, our attentive dental team will make you feel comfortable.
When will I be able to eat and drink normally again?
For two to three days after your tooth extraction, you should eat only soft foods like soup, oatmeal, mashed potatoes and pasta. You can slowly add solid foods back into your diet after three days.
How should I care for my mouth after the extraction?
When you’re recovering from tooth extraction, you should take either the medication prescribed by the oral surgeon or over-the-counter painkillers to ease pain, apply an ice pack to your cheek to alleviate swelling, rest for 24 hours following the procedure, rinse your mouth out with warm water and salt, and brush and floss your teeth avoiding the extraction site.
