What Are Extractions?

Extractions involve removing a tooth that is severely damaged, decayed, or causing crowding or infection. They can be simple or surgical, with surgical extractions requiring an incision in the gum. This procedure prevents further dental issues, alleviates pain, and maintains oral health.

Signs You Need An Extraction

Signs that indicate you may need a tooth extraction include the following:

What to Expect During the Procedure

During a tooth extraction, your dentist numbs the area with local anesthesia. For a simple extraction, the tooth is loosened and removed with special tools. For a surgical extraction, an incision is made in the gum to access and remove the tooth, followed by cleaning and suturing if necessary. You will receive care instructions and may have follow-up visits to ensure proper healing.

Reviews

Dr. Vanessa Mancuso performed oral surgery and implant bone grafts for dental implant retention. She is superior in her field of periodontics. The surgery was painless, and she demonstrated a gentle, kind, and lighthearted demeanor throughout the process. I highly recommend her services.

I recently had oral surgery performed by Dr. V. Mancuso. I received excellent care, with three follow-up visits by Dr. Mancuso. She always guided me on what to do to ensure the healing of the wound would be effective. At this time, everything is perfect, and I got my teeth back. I salute Dr. Mancuso.

I want to compliment Dr. Vanessa Mancuso on the excellent work she performed on my recent gum operation. I am very grateful to her that the operation was successful. The after-operation care I received from Dr. Vanessa Mancuso was very professional, and the healing process has been smooth.

More About Extractions

Signs of an Infection After Tooth Extraction

Recognizing the signs of an infection after tooth extraction is crucial for prompt treatment. Common symptoms include increased pain and swelling, redness at the extraction site, fever, and a foul taste in the mouth. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your dentist immediately.

What to Eat After Tooth Extraction

After a tooth extraction, it's important to choose foods that are easy to chew and won't irritate the extraction site. Soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and smoothies are ideal. Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods that can cause discomfort or disrupt healing.

When to Stop Using Gauze After Tooth Extraction

Gauze is used to control bleeding immediately after a tooth extraction. You should typically keep gauze in place for 30 to 45 minutes, changing it as necessary if bleeding continues. Most patients can stop using gauze once the bleeding has significantly reduced, usually within a few hours. Follow your dentist's instructions for the best results.

Smoking After Tooth Extraction

Smoking after a tooth extraction can significantly delay healing and increase the risk of complications like dry socket.

Our team at Oasis Perio provides guidance on how to manage your recovery and avoid activities that can interfere with the healing process.

Can I Pull My Own Tooth?

Attempting to pull your own tooth is highly discouraged and can lead to serious complications, including infection and damage to surrounding teeth and gums. Always seek professional dental care for extractions.
