Gateway Family Dentistry provides expert tooth extractions with compassionate care, comprehensive aftercare guidance, and support throughout your healing journey.
An extraction removes a tooth due to disease, crowding, or damage. Our dentist will numb the area around the tooth before removal. Some bleeding is normal as your mouth forms a blood clot to replace the removed tooth root.
Proper aftercare is essential for healing. Our team at Gateway Family Dentistry will provide specific instructions for caring for the extraction site. Allow your mouth adequate time to heal by avoiding smoking, drinking through a straw, and eating foods that may irritate the area.
Contact Gateway Family Dentistry immediately if you experience complications like excessive swelling. Our dentist may recommend pain medication when needed. Continue caring for your other teeth normally, but avoid cleaning the teeth adjacent to the extraction.
If you're experiencing pain or discomfort, visit Gateway Family Dentistry today. We can determine whether you need an extraction. Delaying your consultation may worsen the situation and extend your recovery time.
