Tooth Extractions: What You Need To Know - Complete Smiles

At Complete Smiles, we understand that no one wants to hear that they need a tooth extraction. However, sometimes this procedure is necessary in order to protect your oral health. Today, our team is going to share some information with you about tooth extractions so that you know what to expect if this procedure is recommended for you.

Tooth extractions are usually pretty straightforward. The first step is numbing the area around the tooth so that you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. Next, our team will gently remove the tooth. In some cases, the tooth may need to be broken into smaller pieces before it can be removed. Once the tooth is out, we will make sure that the area is clean and free of any debris.

In most cases, you won’t need any stitches after a tooth extraction. However, we may place a gauze pad over the area to help control bleeding. You will need to bite down on the gauze for about 30 minutes after the procedure.

After a tooth extraction, it’s important to take care of yourself so that you don’t develop an infection. 

The thought of having a tooth extracted can be a scary one, but it is important to know that the procedure is usually relatively quick and painless. In some cases, an extraction may be required if a tooth is broken, damaged, or decayed. Our team at Complete Smiles will always recommend the best course of action and do everything possible to make the extraction process as smooth and painless as possible.
