You may have heard the term 'tooth extraction' and cringed, but the truth is, this dental procedure, when carried out by professionals like our very own Dr. Henry Suarez at Healthy Dental Expressions brings more benefits than harm. In our Boynton Beach, FL clinic, we aim to help our patients understand the critical role of oral extractions in maintaining your overall dental health.
The Need for Oral Extractions
Commonly, tooth extraction becomes necessary when a tooth is decayed beyond repair, is overcrowding other teeth, or has been affected severely by periodontal (gum) disease. Removal of such teeth ensures that the infection does not spread, thus playing a vital role in preserving your oral hygiene and health.
Signs That You May Need an Extraction
While regular check-ups are essential in early detection and prevention of severe oral problems, we recommend you to schedule an appointment with us if you experience persistent toothache, swollen gums, pus formation or jaw stiffness seeping into your normal life and causing discomfort.
Aftercare Of Extraction
Post tooth extraction, aftercare is crucial for smooth recovery. Some basic care tips include biting gently on a gauze pad to stop bleeding, avoiding hot and cold beverages, refraining from smoking, and practicing gentle but thorough oral hygiene.
Always remember, each mouth is unique, so the aftercare may be different for everyone. You can count on our team at Healthy Dental Expressions for personalized and effective aftercare instructions.
