Facing the prospect of a tooth extraction can be daunting, but understanding the process and its benefits can alleviate concerns. Tooth extractions are common dental procedures that become necessary under specific circumstances. They are recommended in various situations, such as severe decay, advanced gum disease or crowded teeth.
Before the extraction, our dentist will thoroughly assess your dental health and may take X-rays to plan the procedure. We invite you to ask questions at this time and are happy to address any of your concerns.
During the extraction, you will receive local anesthesia to ensure a painless experience. Dr. Nerissa Aquino will carefully extract the tooth, and post-procedure care instructions will be provided to promote optimal healing. Recovery typically involves minimal discomfort and may vary based on the complexity of the extraction.
The primary benefits of tooth extractions include relief from pain, prevention of infection spread and preservation of overall oral health. Removing problematic teeth can also create space for orthodontic treatment, enhancing the alignment of your remaining teeth. We invite you to call A’s Family Dentistry at 772-408-4298 to schedule your visit with us to discuss tooth extractions in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and come up with a treatment plan to replace it and return your smile to you.
