Why You Might Need a Tooth Extraction

There are several reasons why a tooth extraction might be necessary. Understanding these can help ease your concerns:

Severe Tooth Decay: When cavities have damaged the tooth beyond repair.

Infection: If an infection has destroyed a large part of the tooth or surrounding bone.

Overcrowding: Making space for orthodontic treatment.

Impacted Teeth: Often occurring with wisdom teeth, which can cause pain and misalignment.

Recovery and Aftercare

Proper aftercare is crucial for a smooth recovery following a tooth extraction. Here are some tips to follow:

Rest and limit physical activity for the first 24 hours.

Avoid smoking and using straws, as these can dislodge the blood clot and delay healing.

Gently rinse your mouth with saline solution after 24 hours to maintain oral hygiene.

Take prescribed medications as directed to manage pain and prevent infection.
