At our dental clinic, our primary goal is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. However, there are times when a tooth extraction becomes the best or only option to protect your oral health. Our skilled team, including an experienced oral surgeon in Montgomery, AL, can perform both simple and surgical extractions, ensuring you receive the care you need.
Tooth extraction may be required for several reasons, including:
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, our team will explain all your treatment options, why extraction is recommended, and how the procedure will be performed.
After a tooth extraction, you should feel much better within a week. To ensure proper healing, avoid disturbing the site by not brushing or flossing near the area for a few days.
Use ice packs and pain relievers as needed, stick to soft foods, and stay hydrated without using a straw. Be sure to attend follow-up visits with our oral surgeon in Montgomery, AL, for a smooth recovery and to prevent complications.
Within the first 24 hours, we recommend you only eat soft foods or liquids such as pudding or apple sauce.
Patients typically feel some pain once the anesthesia wears off and may experience some bleeding or swelling for 24 hours post extraction.
One tooth extraction should take approximately 20 to 40 minutes. If you are having multiple teeth extracted, the process could take longer.
