Tooth Extractions in the Arboretum, South Charlotte.
Imagine Dentistry
Tooth extractions are a practical solution when no other dental treatment can cure the conditions. Living with a diseased, decayed tooth is harmful to the roots and the neighboring teeth. An extraction means having a tooth removed, usually because of disease, trauma, or for orthodontic purposes to create space. If you need an extraction, we at Imagine Dentistry 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 a blood clot formation, or if needed, we will graft bone.
The type of tooth extractions for you will depend on your teeth’ various factors like its shape, size, condition, and location. Your dentist will analyze your condition and decide whether you should undergo simple or surgical extractions.
- Simple extractions- It is done on teeth that are visible above the gum line. Your dentist will pull the teeth, and it will come out from the roots in one piece.
- Surgical extractions- It is a complicated procedure that involves gum tissue, bone removal, and so on.
Wisdom teeth present at the back of your mouth sometimes give a lot of pain as they emerge at a weird angle and pressure the neighboring teeth. Extractions also help in treating this as well.
After your tooth extraction, it is crucial to follow the instructions of your dentist for quick recovery. Not touching the extraction site, eating liquid food, avoiding smoking, etc. are things you have to follow to get the best results for extractions.
