The Process
Safety and comfort are the top priorities for our patients.
The process of a tooth extraction begins with a thorough examination and x-rays of the affected tooth. Our dentist, Dr. Alice, will assess the situation and discuss the extraction process with you, as well as any alternative treatments that may be available. Dr. Alice’s primary mission is to save and restore patient’s teeth, but as a last resort she will advise tooth extraction.
To ensure patient comfort Dr. Alice will administer local anesthetic to numb the area around the affected tooth before starting the extraction. Once the anesthetic takes effect, the dentist will gently loosen the affected tooth and remove it from the socket. After the tooth has been extracted, the socket will be cleaned and gauze will be placed over the area to control bleeding. You may experience some mild discomfort and swelling after the extraction, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and ice packs.
