2. NOBLEDENTAL
Tooth extraction is often
necessary to remove a tooth
that is impacted.
An impacted tooth is one that
cannot break completely through
the gum line.

3. NOBLEDENTAL
This is a common problem
with wisdom teeth.
If these teeth are left alone,
they can develop tooth decay
and cause gum infections.

4. NOBLEDENTAL
You might also need an extraction
to prepare for dentures
or implants.
Removing a tooth that is too
decayed or broken for repair
paves the way for better
oral health.

5. NOBLEDENTAL
We often recommend that people
prep for an extraction
by following healthy lifestyle
habits before their appointment.

6. NOBLEDENTAL
Get a good night’s rest and avoid
tobacco and alcohol before your
oral surgery.
Then, follow this aftercare
checklist to begin the process
of healing.

Sedation dentistry makes tooth
extractions comfortable.
Conscious sedation allows you
to be awake for the procedure,
but most people remember very
little of what happened.

9. NOBLEDENTAL
General and conscious sedation
can have lingering effects
that make it unsafe to drive until
they wear off.

10. NOBLEDENTAL
Plan to have someone pick you up
or wait during the procedure
so that you get home safe.

12. NOBLEDENTAL
Patients often like to squeeze
dental appointments in during
their workday.
This works for treatments
such as tooth whitening.

13. NOBLEDENTAL
An extraction is different.
The procedure puts stress
on your body that requires time
to recover from.

14. NOBLEDENTAL
You might also have some bleeding
and swelling that occurs during
the first several hours after
an extraction.
If possible, go home and spend
some time resting.

15. NOBLEDENTAL
You’ll give your body a jump start
on healing that is noticeable
the next day.

17. NOBLEDENTAL
After a tooth extraction,
there is some blood loss.
We’ll place gauze
at the extraction site
to control the bleeding.

18. NOBLEDENTAL
This helps a blood clot to form
that protects the bone
and nerves in the socket.

19. NOBLEDENTAL
You’ll need to leave the gauze
in place for three to four hours
after the procedure.
You can replace the gauze
with a fresh piece as required.

Many people sail through their
recovery with only the need
for mild pain relievers
such as acetaminophen.
Others need stronger prescription
pain medications or antibiotics.

22. NOBLEDENTAL
We prescribe medications
to prevent pain and infections.
Certain medications also help
with swelling and inflammation.

23. NOBLEDENTAL
Following our recommendations
enables you to avoid
post-extraction complications.

25. NOBLEDENTAL
Dry socket is the most common
complication that patients face
after an extraction.

26. NOBLEDENTAL
This condition occurs if the blood
clot does not develop or if it gets
displaced from the socket.

27. NOBLEDENTAL
To keep the clot in place, abstain
from smoking or drinking
from straws for the first
one to three days.

You’ll be able to resume eating
as soon as you feel comfortable
enough to try.
Soft foods, such as soup, pudding,
and yogurt, are the best options
to try first.

30. NOBLEDENTAL
As your mouth heals, you can
gradually add more solid foods
to your diet.

32. NOBLEDENTAL
You’ll still be able to brush
and floss your teeth as usual
after the first day.
Just be careful to avoid
the extraction site.

33. NOBLEDENTAL
Rinsing and spitting should also
be avoided for the first 24 hours
after the extraction to prevent
dry socket.

34. NOBLEDENTAL
The extraction site can take
a week or two to heal.
During that time, be sure
to reach out with any questions
or concerns you have
along the way.

35. NOBLEDENTAL
We can check for infection
and offer suggestions
for pain management.
Working together as a team helps
you enjoy a faster recovery.
