How is a tooth extraction performed?
A tooth extraction is typically performed under local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth. For more complex cases or if you feel anxious, we offer sedation options. During the procedure, your dentist will carefully remove the tooth, ensuring minimal discomfort. The area is then cleaned, and stitches may be used to promote healing if necessary.

What should I do after a tooth extraction?
Following your dentist’s post-care instructions after a tooth extraction is important to promote healing and avoid complications. This may include resting, avoiding strenuous activities, and following a soft-food diet. Ice packs can help reduce swelling, and over-the-counter pain medications can manage discomfort. It’s also crucial to keep the extraction site clean to prevent infection.

Are there alternatives to tooth extraction?
In some cases, alternatives to tooth extraction may be available, such as root canal therapy or other restorative procedures. However, removal may be the best option if the tooth is severely damaged or infected. Your emergency tooth removal dentist in NYC will discuss all available options to determine the best course of action for your dental health.
