Description
Procedure: The tooth extraction process includes several key steps:
- Consultation and Examination: Our dentist will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to determine the best approach for the extraction.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the tooth to ensure the patient feels no pain during the procedure.
- Extraction: The dentist will gently rock the tooth back and forth to loosen it from the jawbone and ligaments. Once loose, the tooth will be removed carefully using forceps.
- Post-Extraction Care: After the tooth is removed, a gauze pad is placed over the socket to control bleeding and promote clotting.
Aftercare: Post-procedure care is vital to ensure healing and prevent complications:
- Bite gently on the gauze pad periodically, and change pads as they become soaked with blood.
- Avoid rinsing, sucking actions, and smoking for 24 hours to protect the clot.
- Apply ice in 10-minute intervals if swelling occurs.
- Take prescribed pain relievers as directed.
