Whether they provide preventive care to increase your resistance to common oral issues or treat concerns like cavities or gum disease, it\u2019s all intended to safeguard your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you have a severely decayed or damaged tooth that\u2019s too injured or diseased to be treated effectively, they might have no recourse but to remove and replace it. If you\u2019re anxious that your procedure could hurt, continue reading to learn more about what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentistgrandprairie.com\/tooth-extractions.html\">tooth extractions<\/a> typically feel like!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:84px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do I Need to Have a Tooth Removed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under normal circumstances, your dentist provides different services to address any concerns with your teeth or gums, like alleviating a toothache with a root canal or mending a decayed tooth with a restoration, like a filling or crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, some teeth are too injured to be mended and can potentially detract from your overall dental health. For instance, cavities are contagious and can spread to your jawbone to weaken the foundation of your mouth, which contributes to tooth loss. You might also require removal if your wisdom teeth are struggling to erupt because they can become impacted or infected, overcrowd neighboring teeth, and cause a great deal of discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s often better to remove the source of the problem in these circumstances than to allow it to progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do Tooth Extractions Feel Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s natural to feel intimidated or anxious about your upcoming procedure, but your dentist understands that many people dread extractions and will do everything they can to help ease your frayed nerves. For instance, they will apply a local anesthetic around the affected tooth before starting the procedure to numb the nerves and keep them from sending pain signals to your brain. You\u2019ll likely feel some pressure in your mouth as your provider works, but it shouldn\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many dentists also offer sedatives, like nitrous oxide (laughing gas), to help you feel relaxed and calm throughout your treatment. This won\u2019t render you unconscious, but it reduces your body\u2019s ability to sense and respond to external stimuli. You might feel a tingling sensation in your limbs or develop a case of the giggles, which earned this medication its popular nickname.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Pain Is Normal After My Procedure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because you\u2019ll be medicated during your appointment, you won\u2019t need to worry about discomfort until the drugs wear off. Then, you\u2019ll likely experience aches and inflammation for a few days as your bone and gum tissues mend. Your mouth must form a blood clot over the extraction site to protect the exposed nerves and bone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this clot can be dislodged by strenuous physical activities, overly hot food and drinks, drinking from a straw, or smoking tobacco products. This can result in an achy complication known as dry socket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience throbbing, bleeding, or swelling that doesn\u2019t subside after about 5 days, you should contact your dentist to ensure you haven\u2019t developed an infection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Care 32 Dental of Grand Prairie, you and your family benefit from a team of dentists dedicated to helping you build and maintain your happiest, healthiest smiles.
