Tooth extractions are a common dental procedure, but they can feel intimidating for many people.
At Setai Dental, we use local anesthetics to numb the area and help minimize discomfort during the procedure.
For patients with anxiety, sedation options are available to help you feel more at ease.
Exploring All Options:
Dentists prioritize saving a tooth whenever possible and exploring alternative treatments before considering extraction. This means extractions are typically scheduled after a thorough examination and assessment.
Examination and Imaging:
The process begins with a comprehensive examination, including X-rays, to evaluate the tooth’s condition and surrounding structures. This allows the dentist to determine if the tooth can be preserved or if extraction is necessary.
Cleaning and Assessment:
Your teeth may be cleaned to give the dentist a clearer view during the exam. The dentist will then assess the tooth’s condition and discuss the next steps, including whether an extraction is recommended. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled if extraction is required.
Preventing Infection:
In some cases, the dentist may recommend antibiotics before the procedure to reduce the risk of infection. It’s important to follow the prescribed course of antibiotics. Additional antibiotics may be recommended after the procedure, depending on individual needs.
