Tooth Extractions Near You
Proper dental hygiene involves regular checkups and daily cleaning (brushing and flossing). When we neglect these important steps in practicing good oral care, it can often lead to tooth deterioration and sometimes require a tooth extraction. However, some individuals who still practice great oral hygiene still need to have a tooth extraction such as in the case of wisdom teeth removal.
The dentists at Chancellor Dental Group understand the importance of patient comfort and strive to extract a tooth with minimal pain involved. If you find you may need a tooth extraction, whether it is because your wisdom teeth have come in or if your tooth is infected, there are some things to keep in mind.
Why People Get Tooth Extractions
It is important to first understand the reasoning behind tooth extractions. As mentioned, poor oral hygiene may not be the only reason you need a tooth pulled.
- Baby teeth are not falling out naturally
- Wisdom teeth need to be removed
- The patient feels pain in the jawbone
- Teeth are shifting
- More room is needed in the mouth
- A tooth has deteriorated or fractured extensively
What to Expect
Most dental extractions are very simple, only requiring local anesthesia such as that needed for a filling. If it is more complicated, it may have to be separated into smaller sections to be removed. This is often done to reduce the trauma to the gum tissue and jawbone. If the dentist determines that the extraction is complicated, the patient may be referred to an oral surgeon.
Once the tooth has been removed you will be provided with special instructions on how to keep the area clean and free from infection.
If you find yourself with overcrowding teeth or newly developed wisdom teeth, it is important to book an appointment with your dentist to avoid further movement in your mouth. Book a consultation at Chancellor Dental Group to learn if a tooth extraction is what you need!
