Sometimes, teeth can become broken, cracked, or decayed beyond the point of repair. In these cases, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drkingscott.com\/extractions.html\">extractions<\/a> are needed to maintain the health of your smile.<\/p>\n<p>If we think that your tooth requires <strong>extraction<\/strong>, we will take X-rays and thoroughly examine your smile before committing to this procedure. We want to help reduce your anxiety, while restoring the health of your smile. Depending on the situation, we may need to refer you to an oral surgeon to perform the <strong>extraction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes time for your tooth to be removed, we will anesthetize the affected area to minimize your discomfort. Once your tooth is gone, you\u2019ll need to take care of the area to avoid infection. The first 24 hours following the procedure are where you should be the most careful. You\u2019ll avoid things such as rinsing, spitting, hot foods, smoking, and alcohol for the first day and will be on a soft diet or liquid diet. \u00a0After several days to a week or so, you\u2019ll feel much better.<\/p>\n<p>We also offer dental implants and other solutions to help replace your missing tooth, so there\u2019s no need to worry that an <strong>extraction <\/strong>will permanently change the appearance of your smile. Whether it\u2019s needed because of damage, decay, crowding, or because it\u2019s your wisdom teeth, we can help remove your teeth and ensure the health of your smile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. King Scott\u2019s West Monroe, LA dental office <\/strong>wants all our patients to have beautiful, healthy smiles.
