Tooth extraction is the process of removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While our goal is to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, there are times when removing a tooth is necessary for your overall dental health. Call us at 972-686-6477 to schedule your consultation with Dr. Tina Foss to discuss your options and whether you may need a tooth extraction in Mesquite, Texas.
When Do We Recommend a Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extractions are recommended under several conditions including severe decay that renders a tooth non-restorable, advanced periodontal disease that has loosened a tooth, impacted teeth such as wisdom teeth that can cause pain and misalignment and to alleviate overcrowding in the mouth to facilitate orthodontic treatments.
What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction
We ensure that your extraction procedure is as comfortable as possible. After a thorough examination and X-rays to assess the affected tooth, we administer local anesthesia to numb the area. Our dentist will then carefully remove the tooth, sometimes making minor incisions to ease the process.
