A dental extraction is a dental procedure that involves the removal of one or more teeth. Our dentist may recommend tooth extraction if there is an infection, decay, damage, or overcrowding. The most common reason for tooth extraction is tooth decay or an infection that cannot be treated with other dental procedures. Your oral health and overall well-being are our top priority. That’s why we offer tooth extractions at our office along with other services to ensure you have a healthy mouth and body.
At Premier Dental Studio of Katy, we understand the importance of keeping your teeth and gums in good health. We work hard to ensure that all of your dental needs are addressed and treated properly. When it comes to tooth extractions, we will provide you with the best care possible to ensure that you are comfortable during the procedure and afterward.
Tooth extractions may be necessary for a variety of reasons, including:
Following a severe injury to the mouth or jaw, some teeth may have to be extracted if they are severely damaged. Injuries to the teeth may occur while playing contact sports, trauma while in a car accident, and many other situations. In addition, some types of orthodontic treatments can affect the chewing ability of certain teeth, which may lead to tooth loss. In these situations, extractions will be recommended to make way for the new dental prosthesis that will replace the missing teeth.
Tooth extraction is usually performed with local anesthesia and sedation. The area of the tooth will be numbed before removing the tooth from the jaw bone. The procedure typically takes about 20 minutes but can vary depending on your specific situation. Some extractions may require stitches following the procedure to help with healing.
Tooth extraction is a safe and effective procedure for removing teeth from your jaw when necessary. Most patients do not experience any side effects following an extraction if it has been performed correctly by a dentist. However, some patients may experience pain after having a tooth extracted. In these cases, we suggest over-the-counter pain medications or prescription pain relievers.
Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after having a tooth extracted without feeling any pain or discomfort in the mouth. However, it is always important to take proper care after extraction for the best results. Rinse your mouth with warm water after eating and eat soft foods until you feel comfortable.
