Tooth Extractions

in Priceville, AL

Gentle, comfortable

tooth extractions

Saving your tooth is always our top priority, but if the damage is too severe to repair, an extraction may be the best option. Wisdom teeth may also need removal to create space or improve overall dental health.

We provide gentle, high-quality extractions for patients of all ages, ensuring a comfortable experience. If you think you might need a tooth removed, contact us today for a consultation.

Can I eat or drink right after my extraction?

After your surgery, we’ll ask you to stick to soft foods for a few days. Some good options include:

• Gelatin

• Pudding

• Yogurt

• Mashed potatoes

• Ice cream

• Thin soups

Avoid using a straw when drinking, as the sucking motion can disrupt your sutures and slow healing. Smoking and vaping can have the same effect, so it’s best to avoid them as well.

Tooth Extraction

FAQ

Do you offer wisdom teeth removal?

Yes! We provide wisdom tooth extractions for patients of all ages. While not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, we’ll evaluate your situation and help you determine if extraction is the best choice for your long-term health.

Will a tooth extraction be painful?

We’ll make sure you’re completely numb and comfortable throughout the procedure. Afterward, we may prescribe pain medication, and you can use an ice pack to help reduce any discomfort in the days following surgery.

How long does recovery take after an extraction?

After the surgery, it’s important to rest. If anesthesia was used, make sure you have a friend or family member drive you home. We’ll place gauze at the surgical site, and you’ll need to change it as needed. If bleeding continues for more than 24 hours, please give us a call. When you get home, rest, but avoid lying flat as it may increase bleeding—keep your head elevated with a pillow instead.
