WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN HAVING A TOOTH EXTRACTED<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most common dental procedures is tooth extraction.\u00a0 It is often necessary to have a tooth removed for <\/span>several<\/span> reasons.\u00a0 These include:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0Joint issues in the jaw<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0Teeth shifting<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0Damage to a tooth<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0Baby teeth that do not fall out<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0Wisdom Teeth (3<\/span>rd<\/span>\u00a0molars) impacted<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0Creating space for other teeth<\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before Surgery<\/span><\/p>\n

To prepare for surgery, a full medical and dental history is needed, along with a list of all medications you are taking.\u00a0 This needs to include vitamins, supplements, over-the-counter drugs, <\/span>and also<\/span> any meds you are allergic to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An x-ray is needed to assess the best way to remove the tooth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Antibiotics may be given before or after surgery—all depending on how long the surgery lasts and if you have any medical conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Day Of Surgery<\/span><\/p>\n

Right before the surgeon begins, he or she will numb the area around the tooth that is to be extracted with a local anesthetic.\u00a0 The affected tooth, jawbone, and surrounding gum will all be numbed.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the extraction process, it is very common to feel pressure.\u00a0 The affected tooth is usually rocked back and forth to loosen it for removal.\u00a0 You should not feel pain, just pressure.\u00a0 If for any reason you do feel pain, notify the oral surgeon right away so that they can administer more anesthetic. <\/span>Fairhope Best Family Dentist AL<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.\u00a0 Your dentist should be willing to answer anything <\/span>and also<\/span> help you to feel as comfortable as possible.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Fairhope Best Family Dentist AL<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
