Extractions: Safe and Effective Tooth Removal Services
At Park Dental Care, we prioritize your comfort and dental health, even when it becomes necessary to perform a tooth extraction. Our skilled dental team uses the latest techniques to ensure that the procedure is as pain-free and straightforward as possible, helping you recover quickly and effectively.
Understanding Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. It's a common procedure used to address a variety of dental issues, including:
Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is too decayed to save, extraction may be the best option to prevent infection from spreading.
Impacted Teeth: Often wisdom teeth become impacted and need to be removed to prevent pain, crowding, and infections.
Orthodontic Treatment: Sometimes teeth need to be removed to create space and properly align the teeth.
Periodontal Disease: Advanced gum disease may require the removal of a tooth if it's too loose to be saved.
Our Extraction Services
Simple Extractions
Simple extractions are performed on teeth that are visible in the mouth. This common procedure is relatively quick and involves minimal discomfort.
Surgical Extractions
Surgical extractions involve the removal of teeth that are not easily accessible, such as impacted teeth. This procedure may require an incision into the gum to access the tooth.
What to Expect During an Extraction
1. Consultation and Evaluation: We first conduct a thorough examination of your dental health to determine the best approach for your extraction.
2. Preparation: If needed, we take X-rays to plan the most effective way to remove your tooth.
3. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the tooth to be extracted, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure.
4. The Extraction: Our dentist will perform the extraction carefully and efficiently, using the appropriate technique for your situation.
5. Aftercare Guidance: After the extraction, we provide detailed instructions for care at home to facilitate a smooth and quick healing process.
Post-Extraction Care Tips
Rest: It's important to rest and avoid strenuous activities for the first 24 hours to minimize bleeding and aid in healing.
Ice Packs: Applying ice packs to the cheek near the extraction site can help reduce swelling.
Soft Foods: Eat soft foods and avoid chewing directly on the extraction site.
Oral Hygiene: Gentle rinsing and careful cleaning around the extraction site are crucial for preventing infection.
