Learn about the stages of healing after a tooth extraction from a dentist in Yaletown, and ensure a smooth recovery for your dental health.
Extraction is the removal of a tooth from its jawbone socket. After fillings or root canals fail, our dentist may recommend extraction.
The dentist numbs the tooth region to promote patient comfort. The tooth is loosened and pulled with dental instruments. Before extraction, the tooth may need to be broken into pieces.
After the extraction, the dentist may use gauze to reduce the bleeding and promote clotting. Patients are provided post-operative care instructions to hasten healing and reduce infection risk.
Wisdom tooth impaction, crowding, and the need for dentures or implants are common reasons for tooth extractions. Post-extraction care is essential for a quick tooth extraction recovery and minimal complications.
