Tooth Extraction Gainesville, FL 

At Johary Family Dentistry a tooth extraction is typically performed when someone is in need of wisdom tooth removal. There are other circumstances as well where tooth extraction might need to be performed such as severe tooth decay, an abscessed tooth that is causing pain or damage to the mouth, along with other special circumstances.

What to expect

Our experts can promise that during your tooth extraction you will feel comfortable at all times. We will walk you through each step of the tooth extraction process so you have a good understanding of what is going to happen. We will ensure that you understand what needs to be done after surgery in order to avoid any infection. You will be limited to soft foods for a few days once healing is complete. Recovery is typically 2-3 days and you will need a friend or family member to transport you to and from surgery.

Benefits of Tooth Extraction

If your wisdom teeth are erupting and causing pain or discomfort, it’s time to get them taken out. Wisdom teeth pain is caused when  there isn’t enough room for them to fit. Don’t put off getting a tooth extraction, as over time leaving them in can lead to worse issues.

Reduce Headaches

The pressure of wisdom teeth erupting can cause excruciating headaches. Getting them removed will help to reduce pain and decrease the amount of headaches.

Stop Teeth From Shifting

As wisdom teeth attempt to push through, they shift other teeth. This could create a jagged bite line or crooked teeth. Putting off a tooth extraction will only worsen the shift. If the teeth shift too much, your dentist might recommend braces to help straighten them out. To avoid the cost of braces, get your wisdom teeth removed as soon as possible.

Decrease Chances of Periodontal Disease

As the wisdom teeth start to shift the other teeth, it can create areas that are hard to get to with a toothbrush. These areas are perfect for harmful bacteria to hide out in. If the bacteria isn’t removed, it can cause periodontal disease, tooth decay, and even tooth loss. Removing your wisdom teeth can help to decrease the chances of periodontal disease.

Stop Infection

As wisdom teeth push around other teeth, the mouth can become easily infected. Gums and teeth can become irritated because of this pressure. This exposes them to bacteria that can cause tooth decay. Getting your wisdom teeth removed will reduce the chances of oral infections.

If you are struggling with wisdom teeth pain, don’t delay getting a tooth extraction. Contact our family dentist to schedule a tooth extraction appointment! We are proud to offer quality tooth extraction services for Gainesville, FL and the surrounding communities.
