Tooth extractions, while often feared, are now more comfortable and pain-free than ever. Our team ensures complete numbness before the procedure, minimizing discomfort. Most extractions are straightforward, followed by simple at-home care to promote healing and prevent infection.
In cases where extraction is necessary, our experienced dentists will guide you through the process with care and professionalism. We prioritize your comfort and well-being, making every effort to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.
If you feel pain a few days after the tooth has been removed, it might be where the blood clot has broken down leaving an empty hole in the gum. Smoking, vigorous brushing, rinsing, and drinking liquids through straws are discouraged during the post-operative period because they hinder healing and may cause the wound to open.
This is called a ‘dry socket’ and will need to be looked at by your dentist. Simply go back and the dentist will pack the wound to ease your discomfort.
