Do you have a tooth that is too damaged to repair? This is a common problem and our dentists may recommend a tooth extraction to resolve the issue. A tooth extraction requires pulling the tooth and potentially replacing it with a false tooth. Tooth extractions occur when trauma or decay has rendered the tooth useless. A tooth extraction is used as a last resort when filling the tooth or performing a root canal is no longer a possibility. CITIDental Rancho is experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to tooth extractions, which is why we are here to help.
The Tooth Extraction Process
Unfortunately, with the tooth extraction process comes pain. The mouth is numbed and anesthesia is administered to make our patients as comfortable as possible. Often times when teeth are extracted, swelling occurs. Our dentists will advise you to avoid hot foods for a few days after the procedure in order to prevent blood clots. Using an ice pack will help with the swelling and promote a faster recovery.
