Tooth Extraction Northridge
When teeth are affected by severe decay to the point where they are deemed impossible to repair, a tooth extraction becomes necessary. Severe decay is the result of years of dental hygiene neglect, which is why maintaining a consistent practice of maintaining your teeth is important. Dr. Razi performs precise and efficient tooth extraction procedures in the Northridge area.
Extracting a tooth can save your smile from forthcoming problems that may affect your overall health. It is recommended to schedule an examination prior to the procedure to evaluate the structure and surrounding tissue of the tooth. The treated area will be dumbed and pain relief medications can be provided to minimize any discomfort. The expertise of Dr. Razi ensures that the process will be as comfortable as possible.
The tooth will be removed carefully and stitches will be provided to prevent bleeding. As the gums heal, rinses with antibiotic fluids will be used to clean the area and remove infections.
After a successful extraction, you must maintain your new smile by practicing the correct post-op procedures. Any initial pain can be treated with a cold compress pressed to the side of your face. Refrain from drinking through straws or biting on the treated area for a period of time.
