What is the Tooth Extraction Process?
The tooth extraction process typically involves several steps. Initially, you will meet with our
oral surgeon in Northridge to review your medical history, discuss the procedure, and develop a
personalized treatment plan. This consultation allows you to address any concerns, ask questions,
and gain a better understanding of the process, promoting a sense of ease and comfort.
How is Pain Managed During Tooth Extraction?
Your comfort is our priority during the tooth extraction procedure. If local anesthesia is used, the area will be numbed to
prevent pain. While you may experience some pressure, we take great care to minimize any discomfort.
What is the Recovery Process after Tooth Extraction?
Following the tooth extraction, we will provide you with detailed instructions for at-home care to
facilitate prompt and complete healing. You may receive medication to manage any pain once the
anesthesia wears off. Our oral surgeons are available to address any questions or concerns you may
have during the recovery period.
Typically, it takes a few weeks to fully recover from a dental extraction. During this time, gentle
cleaning of the extraction site and a modified diet are necessary. Proper care of the area is
crucial to avoid complications and ensure successful healing.
