Why We Recommend Tooth Extraction
There are times when extracting a tooth is the best and necessary option, even after trying other restorative treatments. We may suggest a tooth extraction for different oral health issues, even after exploring all other treatment options.
- Severe tooth decay
- Advanced gum disease
- Dental abscess or infection
- A tooth that has broken off below the gum line
- Crowded or impacted wisdom teeth
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Not everyone has problems with their wisdom teeth, but some may encounter difficulties because of limited space in their jaw. This can result in pain, overcrowding, or the wisdom teeth becoming impacted under other molars. The approach to removing wisdom teeth differs for each person. If the tooth has fully come in, extraction is usually simple. However, if the wisdom tooth is impacted, surgery may be needed. Our team will assess your individual situation and recommend the best plan for dealing with your wisdom teeth.

Post-extraction Self-Care
Post-care instructions are typically the same whether you have a simple or surgical tooth extraction.
Take It Easy
Please make sure to allow your body the necessary time to rest and recover by taking the remainder of the day off after your extraction.
Control Bleeding With Gauze
Bite down softly on the clean gauze at the extraction site for approximately one hour or until bleeding ceases. If necessary, switch to a new piece of gauze.
Avoid Smoking and Straws
Kindly refrain from smoking or using a straw, as the suction may disrupt the healing blood clot and slow down the recovery process.
Stick to Soft Foods
It is advised to opt for soft and gentle foods such as yogurt, pudding, cooled soups, and broth in the upcoming days to prevent irritation at the extraction site.
Be Gentle With Brushing
Remember to brush your teeth as usual, but be cautious to avoid the area where the tooth was extracted.
