When a tooth becomes too damaged to be repaired, or has tooth decay or infection too severe to be treated, then removing the tooth could be crucial. With a tooth extraction, we could safeguard your smile and avoid major complications! In today’s blog, Riverside Dental Group talks about how we conduct a comfortable tooth extraction.
When Teeth Require Extraction
When do we recommend removing a tooth entirely from your smile? Well, if it sustains an injury too severe to be treated with a crown, then removing it could prevent the spread of infection to the nearby teeth or into the jawbone itself. Likewise, when tooth decay or infection has reached a point that we cannot treat it with a crown or root canal, then care is needed to protect the smile as a whole, and removing it could do just that. We could also take out teeth to aid in orthodontic treatment, or to improve overall bite balance and chewing function for all ages.
For teens and adults, we could remove wisdom teeth before they erupt to prevent impactions, so you avoid the onset of maleficent, infection, and damaged teeth.
Ensuring You Stay Comfortable
We know the idea of removing a tooth, or oral surgery in general, could be a source of anxiety for patients. But we always take time to ensure you stay comfortable and removed during treatment! For example, we can numb the area being treated directly with a local anesthetic. We can then administer sedation, choosing from nitrous oxide, oral conscious, or IV sedation to help you enter a deep state of calm, with little to no memory of the procedure. This helps patients of all ages, including those with severe anxiety or special needs.
Tooth Extraction
Our team will plan the process in detail and then numb your smile. Once you are numbed and sedated, we can gently remove the tooth in question with forceps, and suture the area closed. We will remove sutures in a follow-up visit, and you can usually return to your normal routine after a day or two of rest. If you have any questions about how we safeguard your smile with a gentle and comfortable tooth extraction, then contact our team today to learn more.
