Speech can indeed be affected temporarily after a tooth extraction, but this is a normal adjustment period. Initially, you might notice a slight difference in how you articulate certain sounds. However, our bodies are remarkably adaptable, and you’ll likely find that your speech gradually returns to normal as you become accustomed to the change. Practice makes perfect, so take your time to speak deliberately and clearly as you adjust. If you have any concerns about your speech or notice any persistent issues, our team can provide valuable guidance to help ensure a seamless transition and address any questions you may have.
