A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that has been affected by decay, disease or infection. Periodontists specialize in the treatment of periodontal disease and tooth replacement. By having a periodontist perform the procedure, you experience the benefit of having your dental health restored and your missing tooth replaced. What to expect The actual procedure is typically fast. The procedure can be performed under typical dental freezing so you are at ease and do not experience any discomfort. After the tooth or teeth are extracted, a bone graft may be recommended to maintain the volume of bone during healing. You will not experience pain during the procedure, but you may feel pressure. Learn more about tooth extractions by contacting Periodontal Associates for your consultation. Recovery Some soreness may be experienced after the procedure and can be managed by taking an anti-inflammatory medication or mild pain relievers, accompanied with an ice pack. You should maintain a diet of soft, cool foods and keep physical activity light during the first few days of your recovery. Maintenance BRUSH YOUR TEETH TWICE A DAY, EVERYDAY DON’T SMOKE!
