Beverly Hills CA Tooth Extraction

Teeth decay is emerging as a major health issue.   Not only can tooth decay be attributed to improper oral care, types of food and food substances also contribute heavily to the occurrence of tooth decay. In certain situations, tooth extraction may be necessary.

Tooth extraction should be undertaken by a qualified dentist or maxillofacial surgeon.   These highly trained personnel have the experience to extract the tooth in a professional manner without a patient experiencing unnecessary pain. They use an anesthetic to numb the mouth, temporarily disabling the surrounding cells so as to not transmit any pain signals.

 On completion of the extraction process, gauze is usually placed on the area where the tooth was to cover the wound that remains after tooth extraction. This gauze is normally medicinal and is useful in decreasing the pain and helps to stop the bleeding.
