Tooth extractions are a common procedure performed by dentists in Phoenix. There are several reasons why your teeth may need to be removed. If you have an infected tooth or one that has decay that cannot be saved, an On Pointe Dentistry dentist may recommend that you remove it. Teeth that have suffered trauma, gum disease, and crowding in the mouth can also be reasons a tooth may need to be extracted.
Some teeth may need to be surgically removed, but others are removed by rocking the tooth back-and-forth so that it loosens enough to pull free.
It is important to keep an eye on your tooth and maintain proper dental hygiene during the healing period. Your tooth will likely be healed in 7 to 10 days and during that time you should follow all instructions given to you by an On Pointe Dentistry dentist. Here is some of what you can expect during the healing process.
