When wisdom teeth won’t push through correctly or a decayed tooth is beyond restoration, the only solution may be tooth removal. Some people need their dentist to remove a tooth if it’s decayed, impacted, fractured, or overcrowded. Removal might also be necessary if there’s severe gum disease or significant injury to the tooth. Although a standard procedure, tooth extraction can seem scary or grim. Fortunately, you’ll be in good hands when you turn to Beckham Square Family Dental in Cincinnati for your extraction procedure. In most cases, your family provider can pull the tooth, but they may refer you to an oral surgeon or periodontist if your case is more complicated. You won’t have to worry about pain during your tooth extraction. You’ll get a local anesthetic to numb the tooth and surrounding gums. Rest assured that our team will make you as comfortable as possible, and you’ll receive guidance for post-procedure recovery.
