Below are three of the most common reasons why our emergency dentist in Midlothian will recommend a tooth extraction:
The process of removing a tooth depends on several important factors, including the location of the tooth. However, one of the biggest influences on what your treatment will look like depends on if the tooth is above or below your gumline. If it’s above your gumline, then one of our highly experienced and gentle dentists will carefully rock the tooth loose before pulling it out. If it’s underneath the gumline, then they will need to first create a small incision in the gums. Then, they can gently remove the tooth. Since the first step of the entire treatment process in both cases is to thoroughly numb your mouth, you won’t feel anything during your time in the treatment chair.
Before you leave our office, we will provide you with aftercare instructions to help you heal as quickly and comfortably as possible. Here are a few of our recommendations:
