Dental Extractions | Dental Surgery Experts at LADD Dental Group

"An extraction means to have a tooth removed, usually because of disease, trauma or crowding.
If you need an extraction, your dentist will first numb the area to lessen any discomfort. After the extraction, your dentist will advise you of what post extraction regimen to follow. In most cases a small amount of bleeding is normal. Your mouth will slowly fill in the bone where the tooth root was through the formation of a blood clot.

Here are some tips to follow to make recovery easier:

  • Avoid anything that might prevent normal healing.
  • Don’t smoke or rinse your mouth vigorously.
  • Avoid drinking through a straw for 24 hours.
  • Follow the diet your dentist suggests.
For the first few days, if you must rinse, rinse your mouth gently. If you experience swelling, apply a cold cloth or an ice bag and call your dentist right away. Ask your dentist about pain medication. You can brush and floss the other teeth as usual. But don't clean the teeth next to where the tooth was removed.
Remember, when having an extraction, today's modern procedures and follow up care (as recommended by your dentist) are there for your benefit and comfort. All of this info can be found at https://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/e/extractions" 
We preform a lot of dental extractions here at LADD Dental Group. The most common indication for these extractions is due disease. Unfortunately, some of our patients don't regularly see the dentist, and because of this, they come in with a lot of decay and disease in their mouths. The good news is that our dentists and dental specialists are very experienced with surgical extractions, and we have a variety of options for our patients to be able replace that gap in their smile. If you are currently dealing with dental pain, give us a call today, and experience the LADD Dental difference!
