When a tooth cannot be saved, whether due to severe decay, infection, or crowding, tooth extraction may be necessary. At KB Smiles in Brentwood, TN, Dr. Keisha Brady and our experienced dental team are committed to ensuring that your tooth extraction experience is as comfortable and pain-free as possible. We use the latest techniques and anesthesia options to minimize discomfort and promote a quick recovery.
Get Started
Severe Decay or Infection: When a tooth is beyond repair, extraction may be the best way to prevent the spread of infection.
Orthodontic Treatment: Removing teeth can be necessary to make room for improved teeth alignment.
Impacted Teeth: Such as wisdom teeth that are not properly erupting and can cause pain, swelling, and infection.
Initial Consultation: Dr. Brady will review your dental history and take X-rays to plan the best approach for the extraction.
Preparation: The area around the tooth is numbed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Extraction: The tooth is gently removed, and the area is carefully managed to promote healing.
Immediate Care: Detailed instructions on how to care for your mouth immediately after the extraction to prevent complications.
Pain Management: Recommendations for managing discomfort and reducing swelling during the first few days post-extraction.
Follow-Up: A scheduled follow-up visit to ensure proper healing and discuss further treatment options if necessary.
