Within a week of your tooth extraction you will feel much better and be able to resume your daily routine. However, your mouth will still be healing and you should be cautious of the area.
Tooth Extraction in Montgomery, AL

When is Tooth Extraction Necessary:

- We need to make room in your mouth for dentures.
- Gum disease or other problems have compromised the bone that supports a tooth.
