  1. What to Expect During and After Tooth Extraction? Having your tooth pulled may be necessary for certain reasons, such as it has been badly damaged from decay or trauma, or the cosmetic procedure requires it. In some cases, patients will seek a dentist in Mississauga for tooth extraction to prepare for braces or to get rid of wisdom teeth. It may seem daunting and nerve-wracking, but as long as you are under the care of a seasoned and modern dentist, it should be a quick and painless procedure. Oral surgeons and dentists are the only ones who are qualified to perform extractions. If this is your first time seeking these professionals, make sure that they are certified and reputable in Mississauga for tooth extraction procedures. They will also perform the necessary examinations before deciding to pull out your teeth. Once you good to go, an anaesthetic will be injected into the area where the extraction will be done. Sedation may be necessary in some patients, especially those who might be too anxious or afraid of dental treatments. The extent of the tooth extraction procedure will depend on the quality of the tooth. For instance, if it is impacted, the dentist will need to cut bone tissue and gum covering the tooth, then gently rock the tooth to loosen it. Once the tooth is out, blood will clot in the socket, and the dentist will place a gauze pad there to help stop the bleeding. A Mississauga tooth extraction procedure may involve self-dissolving stitches to close the gums, depending on the condition. After visiting your dentist in Mississauga for a tooth extraction, take some time off from strenuous activities for up to two days, and avoid rinsing for the first 24 hours to prevent the clot from dislodging. You should also avoid smoking and eating solid food. Soft foods like yogurt, pudding, and soup are ideal after extraction, then you can gradually eat solid foods as you heal. A dentist may prescribe a medicated rinse to help disinfect the extraction site. When brushing your teeth, avoid the extraction site to prevent infection.
