When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
If a tooth is broken, cracked, or extensively decayed, it may be necessary to remove it. Likewise, a tooth associated with advanced stages of periodontal disease should be removed, as well as teeth that are poorly positioned or non functional.
Whatever the cause, you can rest assured that Caliber Dental will carefully explore and inform you of any other options before making the decision to remove a tooth. Should extraction become necessary, you're assured the same nurturing care that comes with any Caliber Dental procedure.
A Careful, Considered Approach
Every dentist wants his or her patient to keep every tooth possible. At Caliber Dental, Dr. Bagga provides you with the best oral care and only recommends extraction if it's the only means to prevent your current dental problem, or to prevent a future one.
Teeth that are highly damaged due to decay or trauma are only removed when it's the only way forward, and if extraction is necessary, replacement options will be discussed with you as well.
What to Expect Before Your Procedure
Before extraction, Dr. Bagga takes a detailed examination of your medical history to consider any alternative treatments to solve the issue. An X-ray will also be taken to determine any problems that may arise from the extraction.
Dr. Bagga explains the procedure in detail so you understand exactly what to expect, and welcomes any doubts or clarifications along the way. Tooth extraction is performed under the influence of sedatives, so you won't feel discomfort during the process. Since you'll be sedated, you'll need someone to drop you off and pick you up from the office.
Caring for Yourself After Extraction
Once your procedure is complete, you'll be given a clean gauze to bite down on to help stop the bleeding. This gauze helps create a blood clot on the socket, which supports healing. You'll be asked to rest for 24 hours to protect the extracted site, and it's best to avoid solid foods and hot liquids, which can dissolve the blood clot.
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water for cleaning, and limit brushing and flossing around the extracted site and neighboring teeth for a few days. If you experience any discomfort, please contact Dr. Bagga for assistance, since untreated discomfort can sometimes lead to further problems.
