The thought of cold metal forceps rummaging around your mouth to remove a tooth you\u2019ve worked so hard to preserve scares you, and it\u2019s understandable. The best way to ease your anxiety is to learn the facts about the procedure and how it can benefit you. Read on to learn about the most common questions patients have about tooth extractions in Tyler.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Would I Need a Tooth Extracted? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a few main reasons you would need to get a tooth\nextracted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Severe decay that can spread and affect surrounding\nteeth <\/li><li>Orthodontic treatment involving crowding<\/li><li>Denture placement<\/li><li>Preventing other oral issues from arising<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This procedure has the potential to save your smile and\ntypically wouldn\u2019t be recommended unless all other treatment options have been\nruled out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Procedure Painful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process won\u2019t be painful because your dentist will numb\nthe area before they begin the extraction. If you\u2019re having a surgical\nextraction, say to remove wisdom teeth, &nbsp;you\nmay be put under general anesthesia beforehand and will have no memory of the\nprocedure when you wake up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Process Like? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on whether the tooth has emerged from the gumline\nor not, your dentist will either perform a nonsurgical or surgical extraction.\nThey\u2019ll numb the area of the tooth they\u2019re removing, strategically shift the\nroot of the tooth, and pull the tooth. For a surgical extraction, your professional\nwill make small incisions in the soft tissue and remove the tooth all before\nyou wake up from the anesthesia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will I Need Someone to Drive Me Home?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the type of sedation that\u2019s used, you may need a\nloved one to come get you afterwards. If you\u2019ve undergone general anesthesia or\nsedation, be sure to have someone drive you home and get you comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can I Eat and Drink Afterwards? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For your comfort, it\u2019s best to stick to a liquid or soft\nfood diet so your gums can begin to heal, and your discomfort has subsided. Be\nsure to avoid straws because the suction could pull up your stitches and cause\nbleeding as well as delay your healing process. Also try to avoid drinking\nalcohol and carbonated beverages for a few days following your treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can I Help the Healing Process Along?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your dentist in Tyler will provide you with some guidelines\non how to best care for your mouth after your extraction. Following them will\nprevent complications and help manage any discomfort you may experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should I Know About Aftercare? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After your procedure, you may notice some bleeding, but don\u2019t\nworry. Applying a slight amount of pressure on the gauze can help the blood\nclot. If you notice some swelling, place a cold compress 20 minutes on, 20\nminutes off on the outside of your mouth. Laying down with your head elevated\ncan help ease your pain and swelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although tooth extractions can sound scary, they\u2019re only performed\nto save your oral health and prevent future pain and problems. Remember that\nthe procedure isn\u2019t scary and speaking to your dentist beforehand about it can\nbe a great way to ease your worries and allow you to feel comfortable. Don\u2019t\nput off your extraction because you\u2019re worried, instead speak to your dental\nprofessional and save your smile! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Donna Franklin-Pitts strives to provide her patients\nwith the highest quality of care.
