At times, a tooth extraction is necessary. Damage, decay, or orthodontic needs may require an extraction. If you need to have a tooth extracted, take a moment to read the information below.
– If you are having problems after the extraction, it is important to contact your dentist as soon as possible.
– If you were given anesthesia, follow you dentist’s post-treatment instructions.
– Stay away from the gym for a few days after an extraction, as it is much more important to rest after a tooth extraction so your body can focus all of its energy on healing the extraction site.
– To keep swelling and inflammation in your face depressed, your dentist can prescribe medications.
– Use your dentist as a resource for information pertaining to tooth extractions.
– Adhere to the necessary guidelines following dosages for any medication you may take.
