Who Needs Tooth Extraction?

Our skilled dentists at Today’s Dental commonly perform routine tooth extractions to address severely decayed or displaced visible teeth. When a tooth cannot be restored for normal functioning within the mouth, extraction becomes necessary. Our aim is to improve your oral health and overall well-being through this procedure.

Candidates for Tooth Extraction

Several situations may warrant a tooth extraction. You may require extraction if you experience:

• Severely decayed teeth with compromised structure due to caries.
• Heavy crowding in the mouth, affecting the alignment and functionality of teeth.
• Tooth fracture resulting from an accident or trauma.
• Serious periodontal disease affecting the supporting tissues of the tooth.

The Procedure for Routine Tooth Extractions

At Today’s Dental, our experienced dentists follow a meticulous process for routine tooth extractions, ensuring your comfort and optimal outcomes. Here’s a step-by-step overview:

1. Patient Seating and History:
   • Patients are comfortably seated in the dental chair.
   • We conduct a thorough review of medical history, taking into account any systemic illnesses or medications.
2. Local Anesthetic Administration:
   • We carefully administer a suitable local anesthetic solution to ensure a pain-free extraction experience.
3. Extraction Process:
   • Our skilled dentist performs the extraction, gently and efficiently removing the affected tooth.
   • Post-operative instructions are provided to facilitate proper healing and recovery.
4. Post-Extraction Care:
   • We prescribe medications to manage swelling and pain, which are common effects of the extraction procedure.
   • We apply gauze pads to the extraction site to apply pressure, control bleeding, and aid in clot formation.
   • We may recommend ice bags to reduce swelling and enhance comfort.
