Natural Order of Things: Extraction of Teeth
We will go to many lengths with every plausible effort to save natural teeth. It is sometimes necessary to extract teeth for the health of the individual. The following are some or all of the reasons for the extraction of a tooth:

Decays or very serious infection happens in the tooth.
Advanced periodontal disease results in loosening the tooth.
Effects of wisdom teeth.
By orthodontic treatment or preparation for denture.
Fractured or just have teeth where the defect does not resolve.

Clinical Considerations in Extraction
At Olive Branch Dental, patient comfort is of utmost importance. With several modern methods that make it apparently unnoticed and pain-free to the patient, the extraction done as gentlest as possible for the extraction is done.

Examples of such methods are –
Local anesthesia to maximum comfort through numbness in the region.
Extract sick tooth with the least possible discomfort to the patient.

Post-operative instructions.
Recovery and Aftercare Keep in mind that after surgery, your rest and mouth care according to our directives are to be maximized.

Examples of restrictions during this period include:
Avoid hard or crunchy food for days following extraction.
Keep the area clean (fly alive) and prevent infection.
Take medications as directed under your aftercare instructions.
Post-operative appointments for us to monitor your healing progress.
Most heal patients rather well, and with the offending tooth removed, so does the source of pain and discomfort blissfully vanishes.

Whenever teeth are removed, taking spaces with them, options for restoring your smile-such as either implant or bridge, or denture will be provided. Not only is this restoring function but, more importantly, it prevents shifting of teeth into the newly created space and prevents bone loss from the area.
