How is a tooth extraction performed?
A tooth extraction starts with the administration of anesthesia to numb the affected area. The dentist then gently extracts the tooth from its socket. In more complex cases, the tooth may need to be broken into smaller sections to facilitate removal.

What should I do after a tooth extraction?
Following a tooth extraction, it’s crucial to rest and adhere to your dentist’s guidelines. Apply ice packs to minimize swelling, take any prescribed pain medications, and refrain from vigorous activities. Consume soft foods and avoid using straws to prevent the development of dry sockets.

Are there alternatives to tooth extraction?
In some cases, alternatives like root canal therapy or crowns may be viable options to save the tooth. Your dentist will discuss all possible treatments and help you decide the best course of action based on your specific situation.
