Tooth Extractions in Kendall, FL

New Life Dental

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. This treatment is typically necessary when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, infected, or if there is overcrowding.

The process begins with a comprehensive examination and imaging to assess the condition of the tooth and surrounding area. Once the need for extraction is confirmed, local anesthesia is administered to numb the area and ensure the patient is comfortable throughout the procedure.

Benefits of Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions offer several important benefits, including:
  • Relief from Pain: Removing a damaged or infected tooth can provide significant relief from pain and discomfort.
  • Prevention of Infection: Extracting an infected tooth helps prevent the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and tissues.
  • Improved Oral Health: In cases of overcrowding, extracting a tooth can create space for proper alignment and improve overall dental health.
  • Reduced Risk of Complications: Extracting a problematic tooth early can prevent more serious complications and the need for more complex treatments in the future.
  • Enhanced Functionality: In some cases, removing a tooth can improve the function of your remaining teeth, especially if the extracted tooth was causing alignment issues.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Extractions

Is tooth extraction painful?
The procedure itself is usually not painful due to the use of local anesthesia. After the extraction, you may experience some discomfort or swelling, which can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief.
Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the extraction and your overall health. Most patients experience a significant improvement within a few days, with full healing typically occurring in a few weeks.
Follow your dentist’s post-extraction care instructions, which may include resting, avoiding certain foods and activities, and using prescribed medications. Keeping the area clean and avoiding smoking can also aid in healing.
In some cases, it’s recommended to replace a missing tooth with a dental implant, bridge, or partial denture, especially if the tooth plays a significant role in your bite or appearance. Your dentist will discuss the best options for your situation.
You should stick to soft foods and avoid chewing near the extraction site for the first few days. Gradually reintroduce normal foods as you heal and follow your dentist’s recommendations.
