Fort Lauderdale Tooth Extractions

Advantages of tooth extractions

• You will be relieved from pain caused due to dental trauma or tooth decay.
• A tooth extraction stops the spread of infection, which might affect the neighboring teeth, the surrounding tissues, and bones.
• Makes way for beautiful teeth- tooth extraction is the solution for patients with crooked teeth or whose teeth are too big to fit in the mouth. This extraction makes way for the other teeth to adjust to their proper places.
• Removes the problem itself- Delaying treatment prolongs the patient’s discomfort, leading to severe damage to the teeth that cannot be reversed.

How to prepare for tooth extraction

• Do not smoke beforehand.
• Tell your dentist if you have a cold as you may need to reschedule
• Tell your dentist if you had nausea or vomiting the night before; this may require different anesthesia or rescheduling.
• As you will be under the influence of anesthesia, have someone with you to drive you home.
• Inform your dentist about any other disease you may have

Who is eligible for tooth extraction?

• If you have severe periodontal diseases that loosen the teeth
• If you have overcrowded teeth.

Types of dental extraction

• Surgical extraction - during the procedure, you will receive a local anesthetic that numbs the area around your tooth. The dentist then uses an elevator to loosen the tooth and forceps to remove the tooth.
• Simple extraction - a patient receives both local anesthesia and intravenous anesthesia in this procedure, making you calm and relaxed. Depending on any medical condition, you may receive general anesthesia to make you remain unconscious during the procedure.
