Why Tooth Extractions Are Sometimes Necessary

While preserving natural teeth is always our primary goal, there are circumstances where a tooth extraction is the best option for maintaining dental health. Reasons for tooth extractions include:

• Severe decay that has damaged a tooth beyond repair
• Advanced periodontal disease leading to the loosening of a tooth
• Teeth overcrowding, often in preparation for orthodontics
• Impacted wisdom teeth that are causing pain or have the potential to cause complications

The Tooth Extraction Process

Tooth extractions at Bryn Mawr Dental Health Group are performed with the utmost care to ensure patient comfort and effective outcomes:

1. Pre-Extraction Examination: Comprehensive examination and X-rays to determine the best approach for removing the tooth.
2. Anesthesia: We use local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth to be extracted, ensuring a pain-free procedure.
3. The Extraction: Our skilled dentists use precise techniques to remove the tooth, minimizing impact on surrounding tissues.
4. Post-Extraction Care: Patients receive detailed instructions on how to care for their mouth after the extraction, including tips on managing discomfort and promoting healing.

Aftercare and Recovery

Proper aftercare is crucial for healing and includes:

• Avoiding rinsing or spitting forcefully for 24 hours after the extraction to prevent dislodging the blood clot
• Avoiding smoking and sucking on straws, as these actions can hinder healing
• Eating soft foods and gradually adding solid foods as the extraction site heals
