Optimize Your Oral Health
Basic tooth extractions are typically used for teeth that have been damaged by oral injuries, gum disease, or tooth decay. We generally extract teeth that have been too damaged by oral injuries, gum disease, or tooth decay to be predictably saved.
Proactive care is key to keeping your smile healthy and radiant. During your first visit, your AMOS doctor will take a careful look at your teeth and gums to ensure total dental wellness. Comprehensive care is our specialty here at AMOS. From jaw surgery to orthodontics, and every dental need in between, we have your smile covered.
At AMOS, we always prioritize your safety and comfort, which is why we offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation for your tooth extraction appointment. Sedation, along with local numbing, ensures you won't feel any discomfort, and can feel safe and comfortable while you get the care you need.
Removing an unhealthy tooth will reduce harmful bacteria that can damage your teeth and gums. Left untreated, a decayed or damaged tooth can wreak havoc on your smile, causing a domino effect of problems. Removing your affected tooth gives you the best chance for optimal oral health.
You won’t feel any pain or discomfort during or immediately after your extraction due to the numbing and sedation used during the procedure. However, you will start to experience symptoms including pain, discomfort, swelling, bruising, and bleeding within a few hours following your extraction. These symptoms usually peak within the first 2-3 days, and then start to fade as you heal. You will typically need to eat a diet of mostly soft foods for about 5-7 days after your treatment, so plan accordingly.
It will take about 2-3 weeks for your extraction site to get through most of the healing process. Following the recovery instructions provided to you by your doctor will enhance your healing progress. If you are still feeling a lot of pain and discomfort 1-2 weeks after your extraction, this is not normal. Contact AMOS for a follow-up appointment.
