The Tooth Extraction Process

Expressions such as “like getting teeth pulled” show what society at large believes about the dental extraction process, but that unpleasant mental image is a very outdated one. A modern dental practice such as Smile Center For Kids has all the right tools to ensure that your El Paso Tooth extraction will be as comfortable as possible. It usually takes less than an hour, and with a local anesthetic and IV sedation, if necessary, the tooth can be painlessly removed.

When Extraction Is The Best Option

A tooth may require extraction for a variety of reasons. If the tooth is impacted in the gumline (particularly common with wisdom teeth), if there are serious crowding issues, or if the tooth is too damaged, rotted, or loose to be saved with root canal treatment, Dr. Wilson may determine that extraction is the best option. After the recovery period is over, it will be time to begin taking the prosthodontic or orthodontic steps needed to fill in your smile.

What Dr. Wilson Can Do For Your Tooth

If you have a tooth that’s been bothering you, there’s no need for you to keep suffering out of fear of the dentist, and the problem is likely to worsen if it isn’t treated. Call us at Sunland (915) 213-1200 (west) or Edgemere (915) 493-6310 (east) to schedule your appointment today, and Dr. Wilson will be able to determine if extraction is what your tooth needs or if there are other options, such as root canal treatment.
