DIY TOOTH EXTRACTIONS ARE NEVER A GOOD IDEA! LET THE EXPERTS AT FERDOS FAMILY DENTAL HANDLE IT
At Ferdos Family Dental, our primary objective is to preserve teeth whenever feasible. Nevertheless, there are instances where a tooth may be severely decayed or abscessed, making it impractical to salvage. Situations warranting tooth extraction or “pulling” include:
- Severely deep cavities
- Prolonged and severe tooth infection
- Fractured Root
- Injury to the tooth
- Advanced periodontal disease
- Third molars
WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTIONS
Wisdom teeth removal isn’t always mandatory if they’ve fully emerged and are in the correct position. However, for many individuals, there isn’t adequate space in their jaws for wisdom teeth to comfortably fit. Consequently, they often become obstructed, leading to partial eruption at an angle or horizontal positioning within the mouth.
Challenges arising from wisdom teeth comprise:
- Injury to adjacent teeth.
- contamination
- facial swelling
- Teeth overcrowding
Due to the various issues linked with wisdom teeth, dentists advise their removal before they inflict harm, thereby preventing the need for more intricate surgical procedures.
WHAT TO DO AFTER THE PROCEDURE
Undergoing a tooth extraction constitutes a surgical procedure, necessitating specialized attention for effective healing. Adequate post-extraction care is crucial to mitigate the risk of “dry sockets” and facilitate optimal healing.
Following the removal:
- Apply steady pressure by biting down on gauze to assist in halting the bleeding of the wound.
- Refrain from sipping through a straw, rinsing your mouth, or blowing.
- Please refrain from spitting.
- Abstain from smoking entirely.
- Apply ice packs to the exterior of your cheeks.
- Reduce demanding physical exertion.
- Avoid brushing for 2-3 days following surgery.
- Remain elevated during the initial three days.
