When Extraction is the Answer

While losing a tooth is never the desired outcome, certain circumstances necessitate tooth extraction for your well-being. Although each case is unique, common reasons for extraction include:

1. Severe Tooth Decay: Irreparable decay demands extraction to prevent the spread of infection to neighboring teeth.
2. Advanced Gum Disease: Extracting an infected tooth can halt the progression of the disease, safeguarding your overall oral health.
3. Impacted Teeth: Impacted teeth can lead to infection and crowding, disrupting natural tooth alignment.

Your Care, Our Expertise

When extraction becomes necessary, Me Dental Spa is your reliable partner:

1. Anesthetic: We begin by numbing the tooth area with a local anesthetic, ensuring a painless procedure.
2. Extraction: Gentle manipulation loosens the tooth, allowing for smooth removal. If required, the tooth may be sectioned for easier extraction.
3. Hemostasis: After extraction, we apply pressure to control bleeding, placing a gauze pad to promote healing.

A Swift Recovery

Recovery after tooth extraction is typically swift:

1. Discomfort Management: Over-the-counter pain medication effectively manages post-procedure discomfort and swelling.
2. Cautious Habits: Avoiding straws, hot beverages, and smoking prevents dislodging the blood clot in the extraction site.
3. Soft Diet: Consuming soft foods for a few days minimizes irritation and promotes healing.
