Whether you need an extraction due to decay, damage, or overcrowding, our Ontario, CA, practice is equipped to provide expert care in a supportive environment.
Why Tooth Extractions Are Necessary
Tooth extractions may be required for several reasons, including:
- Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is too damaged to repair.
- Overcrowding: To prepare your mouth for orthodontic treatment.
- Infection: If an infection has destroyed a significant portion of the tooth or surrounding bone.
- Impacted Teeth: Common with wisdom teeth that don’t have enough space to emerge properly.
- Gum Disease: Advanced periodontal disease that has weakened the tooth.
Types of Tooth Extractions We Perform
1. Simple Extractions
Simple extractions are performed on visible teeth using a local anesthetic to ensure minimal discomfort. This type of extraction is common for teeth that are decayed or damaged but still intact.
2. Surgical Extractions
Surgical extractions are more complex and are used for teeth that have broken off at the gum line or are impacted, such as wisdom teeth. This procedure may involve making a small incision in the gum to remove the tooth safely.
What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction
At Smile Connection Ontario, our priority is your comfort. Here’s what you can expect during your tooth extraction:
- Consultation and X-Rays: We begin with a thorough examination and X-rays to evaluate the best approach for your extraction.
- Anesthesia: We use local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure you don’t feel any pain during the procedure. For more complex extractions, sedation options are available.
- Extraction Procedure: Using specialized instruments, your dentist will carefully remove the tooth. If necessary, stitches may be used to close the extraction site.
- Post-Extraction Care: You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and manage any discomfort.
Aftercare and Recovery Tips
Proper care after a tooth extraction is crucial for a smooth recovery. Here are some tips to help you heal quickly:
- Rest: Take it easy for the first 24 hours to allow your body to start healing.
- Manage Pain: Use over-the-counter pain relievers as directed, or any prescribed medications from your dentist.
- Apply Ice: Reduce swelling by applying an ice pack to the outside of your face for 10-minute intervals.
- Soft Diet: Stick to soft foods like yogurt, applesauce, and mashed potatoes to avoid disturbing the extraction site.
- Avoid Straws and Smoking: These activities can dislodge the blood clot and delay healing.
Replacing Missing Teeth After Extraction
