Tooth Extractions in Winter Springs, FL

Supportive Care from a Compassionate Team

At Advanced Dental Care, our goal is to provide you with all the preventive and restorative services needed to preserve your natural tooth structure. When a tooth is decayed or damaged, our first step is to try to save it by using restorative and general dentistry treatments to meet your unique needs.

But in some cases, a tooth removal may be necessary to protect one's oral health and prevent further complications. We only suggest tooth removal if a person's tooth can be so unhealthy or severely damaged that we're unable to save or repair it

There are very few people who aren't intimidated when facing tooth removal. It's normal to be apprehensive in this situation, but your comfort is one of our highest priorities. Our caring and supportive team has helped many fearful patients relax and get the critical care they need.

During your appointments, our focus is entirely on you.

If something concerns you, it concerns us, so please don't ever hesitate to let us know what's on your mind. We will tailor your treatment to your unique needs and do everything possible to ensure that your procedure is as stress-free, painless, and efficient as possible.

If you need some extra help to relax, Dr. Young can prescribe a calming medication for you to take about an hour before your procedure. When you arrive at our dental office, you will feel a sense of well-being and calm. In fact, many patients report dozing off during treatment!

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: How to know if it's healing or a dry socket after a tooth extraction?

When the dentist removes a tooth, a blood clot forms in the socket where the tooth was. A dry socket is when the blood clot doesn't form or dislodges, exposing nerves and bone. Not only is dry socket painful, but it also delays the healing process. Tooth Extraction Recovery The initial recovery from a tooth extraction takes about a week. After an extraction, it's normal to have slight bleeding from the surgical site, mild jaw stiffness, and some discomfort. Your dentist will give you instructions on proper aftercare for optimal healing. Warning Signs of Dry Socket Dry socket symptoms include:Pain in the mouth and faceTendernessFoul taste in the mouth Bad breathA dry socket typically lasts about a week. To avoid this painful condition, follow your dentist's instructions and avoid smoking and drinking with straws. Treating Dry Socket A dry socket normally heals independently, but most people see their dentist for pain relief and antibiotics. To treat dry sockets, your dentist might:Rinse and clean your mouth with salt water. Place medicated gauze in the socket, which helps ease the pain. Recommend anti-inflammatory medications and pain relievers or offer antibiotics. Apply ice to reduce pain and discomfort Offer instructions for keeping the surgical site clean. Tooth Extractions in Winter Springs, FL Advanced Dental Care provides gentle tooth extractions in Winter Springs, FL. Call us today to schedule your oral health evaluation and learn more about our tooth extraction process.
