Tooth extraction is sometimes necessary to preserve overall oral health. Whether due to severe decay, gum disease, or impacted wisdom teeth, removing a problematic tooth can prevent further complications. At Metro Decatur Dental Group PC, we provide expert tooth extraction services in Decatur, GA, with a focus on patient comfort and safety.
When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extraction may be recommended for several reasons, including:
- Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is too damaged to be restored with a filling or crown.
- Gum Disease: Advanced periodontal disease may weaken the bone supporting the tooth, necessitating removal.
- Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth that don’t fully emerge can cause pain and misalignment.
- Overcrowding: Extracting a tooth may be necessary to prepare for orthodontic treatments.
The Tooth Extraction Process
Our experienced dental team follows a straightforward and safe process for tooth extractions:
- Consultation: A thorough evaluation, including X-rays, to determine the need for extraction.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia or sedation to ensure a pain-free procedure.
- Removal: Using advanced techniques, the tooth is carefully removed to minimize discomfort and speed recovery.
Post-Procedure Care
After the extraction, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing. This includes managing swelling, eating soft foods, and avoiding smoking or using straws to prevent complications.
