Safe and Gentle Teeth Extractions at Mega Bite Dental

While preserving your natural teeth is always our goal, sometimes an extraction is necessary to maintain your overall oral health. At Mega Bite Dental, Dr. Shokri provides safe and gentle teeth extractions when needed.

Reasons for Teeth Extractions

• Severe Decay: When a tooth is too damaged by decay to be saved with a filling or crown.
• Infection: Infections that cannot be treated with root canal therapy.
• Crowding: Removing teeth to create space for orthodontic treatment.
• Impacted Teeth: Extraction of teeth that are stuck in the gum and cannot erupt properly.

The Extraction ProcessTeeth extraction at Mega Bite Dental is performed with the utmost care to ensure your comfort:

• Initial Examination: Dr. Shokri will examine the tooth and take X-rays to plan the extraction.
• Anesthesia: The area around the tooth is numbed to prevent pain during the procedure.
• Extraction: The tooth is carefully removed. For complex cases, such as impacted teeth, a surgical extraction may be necessary.
• Aftercare Instructions: Detailed instructions are provided to promote healing and minimize discomfort after the extraction.

Post-Extraction CareFollowing your extraction, it is important to follow these aftercare guidelines:

• Rest: Take it easy for the rest of the day and avoid strenuous activities.
• Ice Packs: Apply ice packs to the affected area to reduce swelling.
• Soft Diet: Stick to soft foods and avoid chewing on the extraction site.
• Oral Hygiene: Gently rinse your mouth with salt water and avoid brushing the extraction site for the first 24 hours.
