First, Dr. Nicole Vane will examine the affected tooth and nearby gums and take dental x-rays to determine the extent of the damage. This will help establish whether an extraction is necessary. It is important to tell your dentist about any medications you are taking. Then you and your dentist will discuss the best available treatment and sedation options.
During a holistic tooth removal in Encinitas, CA, your dentist will first administer a local anesthetic to reduce the chances of feeling any pain or discomfort. Our dentists will use specialized instruments and tools to loosen the tooth from its socket.
The dentist may need to make a small incision through the gum to remove the tooth if it is impacted. After the tooth is extracted, the dentist will clean and disinfect the socket to prevent bleeding or infection.
Once the procedure is complete, Dr. Vane will place a piece of gauze across the affected area to slow bleeding. She will then provide instructions on maintaining proper hygiene and diet.
