Tooth Extractions in St Marys – Gentle, Comfortable Tooth Removal
Are you worried about undergoing tooth extractions? Our dentists understand that while tooth extractions are a common procedure, they do cause a lot of anxiety for patients.
Being better informed and knowing what to expect during and after the procedure can relieve some of the anxiety and help you feel better prepared for the treatment.
The progress of periodontitis can result in a painful infection and/or loose teeth. Unfortunately, at this stage, the affected teeth may need to be extracted.
Dental decay that has progressed into the nerve chamber of the tooth and will not undergo root canal therapy will also need to have the tooth removed.
These types of tooth extractions at our dental practice can be easily be performed with the use of local anaesthetic to numb the area. You are expected to barely feel any pain during the procedure. Recovery time varies based on each individual as well as how difficult it is to remove the tooth. The dentist may prescribe antibiotics and/or painkillers if necessary in order to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible.
