Sugar Family Dental offers extractions as part of their dental services. Dental extractions, also known as tooth extractions, are procedures in which a dentist removes a tooth from its socket in the jawbone.

There are two types of dental extractions:

1. Simple Extractions: These are performed on teeth that are visible in the mouth and can be easily accessed by the dentist. A local anesthetic is usually administered to numb the area before the extraction. The dentist then uses specialized instruments to loosen the tooth and gently remove it from the socket.
2. Surgical Extractions: These are more complex procedures done on teeth that may be impacted (partially or fully submerged in the jawbone) or broken off at the gumline. Surgical extractions may require a surgical incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth and may involve the use of dental sedation for patient comfort.

Extractions may be necessary for various reasons, including:

• Severe tooth decay or infection that cannot be treated with other dental procedures like fillings or root canals.
• Crowded or misaligned teeth that need to be removed to make space for orthodontic treatment.
• Impacted wisdom teeth that are causing pain, infection, or other dental problems.

After a tooth extraction, it's essential to follow post-operative care instructions provided by the dentist to promote healing and prevent complications. This may include taking prescribed pain medication, avoiding certain foods, and practicing good oral hygiene.

Sugar Family Dental ensures a comfortable and safe extraction process, utilizing modern techniques and anesthesia options to minimize discomfort and promote optimal oral health. Regular dental check-ups and follow-ups after extractions are recommended to monitor healing and discuss any concerns.
