At Rim Point Dental, our primary goal is to preserve the health and beauty of your smile. However, there may be instances where a tooth extraction is necessary to protect your overall oral health. This may be due to:
- A severe infection that has damaged the tooth and possibly the surrounding bone.
- Overcrowding caused by too many teeth.
- Extensive tooth decay or gum disease that has compromised the tooth.
- Trauma to the tooth from an accident or facial injury.
If you find yourself in need of a tooth extraction, Dr. Benson Bagley is here to ensure the procedure is performed with the utmost care, minimizing any discomfort. After the extraction, our dentist and team will provide you with clear instructions on how to care for your mouth during the healing process.
Post Tooth Extraction Instructions
- Avoiding strenuous activities.
- Applying an ice pack to reduce swelling.
- Refraining from using a straw and eating hard foods for a specified period.
- Steering clear of tobacco products.
- Avoiding actions that could disrupt healing, such as sneezing or blowing your nose.
