When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

Tooth extractions are recommended for a variety of reasons, including:

• Severe Tooth Decay or Damage: When restoration is no longer an option.
• Impacted Teeth: Teeth that cannot properly emerge, such as wisdom teeth.
• Orthodontic Treatment Preparation: To make room for proper alignment.
• Infection or Abscess: To prevent the spread of infection to surrounding teeth.
• Advanced Gum Disease: When periodontal issues affect tooth stability.

Simple Tooth Extractions vs. Surgical Extractions

• Simple Tooth Extraction: For teeth visible above the gumline, removed with minimal invasiveness.
• Surgical Tooth Extraction: Required for impacted or broken teeth, often involving a small incision in the gum.

Dr. Nixon and Dr. Garske will assess your condition and recommend the appropriate procedure to ensure optimal results.

The Tooth Extraction Process

1. Comprehensive Examination: We use advanced imaging to evaluate your tooth and surrounding structures.
2. Anesthesia and Comfort Options: Local anesthesia or sedation ensures a pain-free experience.
3. Removal Procedure: The tooth is carefully extracted with precision to minimize discomfort.
4. Aftercare Guidance: Detailed instructions are provided for post-extraction healing, including pain management and diet adjustments.

Post-Extraction Care Tips

• Manage Bleeding: Bite gently on gauze to control bleeding.
• Avoid Straws: Prevent dry socket by refraining from using straws for at least 24 hours.
• Stick to Soft Foods: Opt for soup, yogurt, and other soft items during initial recovery.
• Maintain Oral Hygiene: Avoid brushing near the extraction site for the first day but keep the rest of your mouth clean.
