The first recorded tooth extraction dates back to 14,000 B.C.!
The first step in the tooth extraction process is a thorough consultation and examination. During this phase, your dentist in Justin will review your dental and medical history, take X-rays, and examine the condition of your tooth. This step is crucial to determine the best course of action and to plan the extraction procedure meticulously to ensure a successful outcome.
Once the examination is complete and your dentist has determined that extraction is necessary, the procedure will be scheduled. On the day of the extraction, your dentist will use a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth. Using specialized dental tools, your dentist will then gently rock the tooth back and forth until it loosens and can be pulled out. The process is quick and should be painless due to the anesthetic.
After the extraction, it's essential to follow your dentist's aftercare instructions. This may include avoiding certain foods, not smoking, and practicing good oral hygiene to prevent infection. The recovery period varies from person to person, but most people can resume normal activities within a day or two.
