Tooth extractions can help to relieve pain.
This dental intervention minimizes the risk of infection or disease.
An extraction can act as a stepping stone to dental alignment.
Are your teeth giving you problems? Have you been told that you need a tooth extraction? If so, you are not alone. Millions of people have teeth extracted each year. At the Oral Surgery Center of Lighthouse Point, we provide tooth extractions to help alleviate any pain or discomfort you may be experiencing.
Tooth extractions are a common dental procedure. They are typically performed to remove teeth that are damaged, decayed, or infected. In some cases, they may also be performed to make room for dental implants or other dental work. Tooth extractions can be performed by your dentist or an oral surgeon.
There are many benefits to having a tooth extraction. In addition to relieving pain and discomfort, tooth extractions can also improve your oral health. By removing damaged teeth, tooth extractions can help prevent the spread of infection and disease. They can also make it easier to eat and speak properly.
The tooth extraction process is generally simple and straightforward. Below outlines each step you can expect during this procedure:
Your dentist or oral surgeon will numb the area around the tooth with a local anesthetic.
They will use a tool to loosen the tooth and lift it out of the socket. In some cases, the tooth may need to be cut into pieces before it can be removed.
Once the tooth has been removed, your dentist will clean the socket and may place a stitch to help with healing.
After a tooth extraction, it is important to take care of the area to prevent infection and promote healing. You will need to avoid drinking from straws, smoking cigarettes, and eating hard or crunchy foods. You should also avoid spitting or rinsing your mouth for at least 24 hours. It is normal to experience some bleeding and swelling after a tooth extraction. To help with these symptoms, you can place a cold compress on your cheek and take over-the-counter pain medication.
At the Oral Surgery Center of Lighthouse Point, our goal is to make the tooth extraction process as easy and stress-free as possible. We offer a variety of sedation options to help you relax during the procedure. We also provide detailed instructions on how to care for the extraction site afterwards.
