Still, there are exceptions \u2013 when having a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wacofamilydental.com\/tooth-extractions.html\">tooth pulled<\/a> is the best route to take. As you continue reading, learn about the benefits of tooth extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Potential Benefits of a Tooth Extraction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The terms \u2018pull\u2019 and \u2018extract\u2019 refer to the same process \u2013 removing a tooth. If a dentist recommends the procedure, one of the following may be a motivating factor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>To stop infection <\/strong>\u2013 If you have a severe tooth infection, it won\u2019t go away on its own. In fact, it can eventually travel to other parts of your body if not addressed. Having an infected tooth pulled is a way to prevent this from happening.<\/li><li><strong>To relieve pain <\/strong>\u2013 An impacted or badly decayed tooth can cause intense pain. By having the tooth removed, you can experience a normal and pain-free life.<\/li><li><strong>To correct overcrowding <\/strong>\u2013 Often, a partially or fully erupted wisdom tooth (also referred to as the third molar) can cause overcrowding. It can make the other teeth shift and potentially leave them exposed to bacteria growth at the root level. Removing the problematic tooth can provide the relief you need.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding the Extraction Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the extraction begins, the dentist will administer local anesthesia. After you\u2019re numb, he or she will free the tooth from the periodontal ligament with a tool called an elevator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tooth impaction increases the complexity of the procedure, as it requires the dentist to first make an incision into the gum tissue. After the tooth is removed, the socket is stitched, and a protective gauze is placed over the treatment site, allowing a blood clot to form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Encourage Healing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not uncommon to experience some slight discomfort after the surgery, but it\u2019s typically quite manageable. You can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen (Advil, Aleve or Motrin) to reduce the discomfort. You should also avoid using any tobacco, as it can cause dry mouth and damage the vacated socket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also want to stick to a soft food diet for around 4-7 days, eating foods like soup, yogurt and apple sauce. Additionally, avoid chewing on that side of your face to prevent an injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s evident that you need to have a severely damaged, impacted or infected tooth pulled, the sooner you act, the better off you\u2019ll be. Then, by following the above guidelines, as well as the instructions from your dentist, you can fully recover from your tooth extraction in Waco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Nick Cobb is a graduate of the University of Texas Dental Branch-Houston.
