Why We Recommend Tooth Extraction
Sometimes, even after attempting other restorative treatments, extracting a tooth may be the most effective and necessary solution. We may recommend a tooth extraction for various oral health issues, even after considering all other 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
Many people do not experience issues with their wisdom teeth, but for some, there may not be sufficient space in the jaw for them to emerge correctly. This can lead to discomfort, overcrowding, or the wisdom teeth becoming trapped under other molars. The method of extracting wisdom teeth varies depending on the individual. If the tooth has fully erupted, removal is typically straightforward. However, if the wisdom tooth is impacted, surgical extraction may be recommended. Our team will evaluate your specific circumstances and advise on the most suitable approach for your wisdom teeth.

Post-extraction Self-Care
Whether you undergo a simple or surgical tooth extraction, the post-care instructions are usually the same.
Take It Easy
Remember to give your body the time it needs to rest and recover by taking the rest of the day off after your extraction.
Control Bleeding With Gauze
Gently bite down on the sterile gauze placed over the extraction site for about an hour or until bleeding slows. If needed, replace with fresh gauze.
Avoid Smoking and Straws
Please avoid smoking or using a straw, as the suction can interfere with the healing blood clot and delay the recovery process.
Stick to Soft Foods
In the next few days, choose soft and gentle foods like yogurt, pudding, cooled soups, and broth to avoid irritation at the extraction site.
Be Gentle With Brushing
Don't forget to brush your teeth as usual, just be careful to avoid the area where the tooth was removed.
