Introduction
At Sifton Bog Dental in Oakridge, London, Ontario, our priority is to treat inflammation, relieve pain, and save your tooth whenever possible. However, if a tooth cannot be salvaged, we offer safe and painless tooth extraction, ensuring your comfort and providing excellent postoperative care.
Understanding Tooth Extraction Necessities
Tooth extractions might be necessary for various reasons, including:
- Severe tooth decay;
- Dental infections;
- Tooth fractures;
- Advanced periodontal disease;
- Preparing for orthodontic treatments;
- Removing impacted or infected wisdom teeth;
Extracting teeth in these scenarios prevents further pain, stops the spread of infection, and safeguards your overall dental health. It's important to note that untreated dental issues can adversely affect your overall health, including complications with diabetes and cardiovascular conditions.
The Tooth Extraction Process
During your appointment, we'll apply a numbing gel and administer an anesthetic to ensure a pain-free experience. You'll feel pressure, but no pain, as the tooth is loosened and extracted, possibly in fragments for easier removal. Stitches may be placed post-extraction to aid healing.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery typically spans a few days, with several ways to expedite healing, such as saltwater rinses and a soft diet. Detailed care instructions will be provided post-extraction, both verbally and in writing, for your reference at home.
