Frequently Asked Questions

Do you remove wisdom teeth?

Yes, we offer both simple and surgical removal of wisdom teeth. However, in some cases where patients prefer sedation or have complex needs, we may refer the wisdom teeth extraction to a trusted specialist.

Can I eat and drink immediately following an extraction?

We'll ask you to limit your food choices for a few days after your surgery. Drink plenty of fluids and eat plenty of soft, cold, nutritious food. Smoothies, protein shakes, yogurt, ice cream and applesauce are all great options. No straws; this may cause your sutures to loosen and slow the clotting process. the same goes for smoking and vaping

What should I do after my extraction?

Gently rinse your mouth with salt water three times a day beginning the day after the extraction (a tsp of salt in a cup of warm water, rinse-swish-spit). Also, rinse gently after meals, it helps keep food out of the extraction site. It is very important to resume your normal dental routine after 24 hours; this should include brushing your teeth and tongue and flossing at least once a day. This speeds healing and helps keep your breath and mouth fresh.

Does a tooth extraction hurt?

We'll ensure that you are completely numb and comfortable during the procedure. after the surgery, we may prescribe you pain medication. You can also alleviate any discomfort by placing an ice pack or bag of frozen vegetables on your cheek after the procedure.

How long will it take to recover from a dental extraction?

After the surgery, you will need to rest as much as possible and avoid strenuous exercise for 3-5 days, even if there is no pain. Call us right away or e-mail us at emergency@drbenfamilydentist.com if you have heavy bleeding, severe pain, continued swelling after two or three days, or a reaction to the medication. After a few days, you will be feeling fine and can resume your normal activities.

What Are Reasons For an Extraction?

Severe Tooth Decay

When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be effectively restored, extraction may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection and protect the surrounding teeth.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often do not have enough space to fully erupt or grow properly. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infections, and damage to adjacent teeth, leading to their extraction.

Advanced Gum Disease

Periodontal (gum) disease can cause damage to the supporting structures of the teeth, leading to tooth loosening. In severe cases where the teeth are no longer stable or cannot be saved, extraction may be required.

Orthodontic Treatment

In cases of severe dental crowding or misalignment, extractions may be necessary to create space and allow for proper alignment of the remaining teeth during orthodontic treatment.
