RELIABLE TOOTH REMOVALS WITH PRAIRIE POINT DENTAL IN AURORA, IL

Tooth removal, or tooth extraction, is a common dental procedure performed for various reasons, such as severe decay, advanced periodontal disease, or to create space for orthodontic treatment. The process typically begins with a thorough examination and discussion between the patient and the dentist to assess the necessity of tooth removal and explore alternative treatments whenever possible.

BEFORE TOOTH REMOVAL

Before the extraction, the dentist will administer a local anesthetic to numb the surrounding area, ensuring the patient experiences minimal discomfort during the procedure. Once the area is numb, the dentist uses specialized tools to loosen the tooth from its socket gently. In certain instances, particularly for impacted teeth or more complex extractions, the tooth may need to be divided into smaller sections for easier removal.

AFTER TOOTH REMOVAL

After the tooth is successfully extracted, the dentist may place gauze on the site to control bleeding and promote clot formation. In some cases, dissolvable stitches may close the extraction site. The dentist will provide post-extraction care instructions, including information on managing discomfort, swelling, or bleeding. Patients must follow these guidelines to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.

The recovery period after a tooth extraction varies, but most patients can resume their normal activities within a day or two. It's essential to avoid certain behaviors, such as smoking or drinking through straws, that can disrupt the healing process. Over-the-counter pain relievers may be recommended to manage any post-extraction discomfort.
