At Pearl Dental Group in Baton Rouge, we understand that tooth extraction is sometimes necessary to maintain your oral health. Our experienced team is here to provide you with expert tooth extraction services in a comfortable and caring environment. Whether you need a simple extraction or a more complex procedure, you can trust us to take care of your dental needs with precision and compassion.
There are several reasons why you may need a tooth extraction. One of the most common reasons is severe tooth decay or damage that cannot be repaired with a filling or crown. In some cases, a tooth may need to be extracted to make room for orthodontic treatment or to prevent overcrowding. Additionally, impacted wisdom teeth often require extraction to prevent infection and other oral health issues.
When you visit Pearl Dental Group for a tooth extraction, our team will begin by thoroughly examining your mouth and taking any necessary X-rays to determine the best course of action. We will then discuss your treatment options with you and develop a personalized plan that meets your needs and ensures your comfort throughout the process.
For simple extractions, we will gently loosen the tooth and remove it from the socket using specialized tools. For more complex extractions, such as impacted wisdom teeth, we may need to make a small incision in the gum to access the tooth. Rest assured, our team is highly skilled in performing all types of extractions and will ensure that you are comfortable and well-informed throughout the procedure.
After your tooth extraction, it’s important to follow our post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing. You may experience some discomfort and swelling after the extraction, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and ice packs. We will also provide you with instructions on how to care for your mouth as it heals, including tips on eating, drinking, and oral hygiene.
