Tooth Extractions in Eugene, OR
If you’re dealing with a damaged, decayed, or problematic tooth, an extraction can offer fast relief and long-term benefits. While we do everything we can to preserve your natural teeth, sometimes a tooth extraction is the best option for your oral health. In these situations, we use safe, modern techniques to minimize discomfort and ensure proper healing. From initial X-rays to post-op care, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
01.
The Tooth Extraction Process
After carefully numbing the area, your dentist gently loosens and removes the tooth while ensuring minimal discomfort. The process typically takes only a few minutes, but it can take longer if the tooth is impacted or is a more complex extraction. Once the tooth is removed, clear aftercare instructions are provided to support quick healing and recovery. With modern techniques and compassionate care, extractions are smooth and stress-free.
02.
Tooth Extraction Aftercare
After a tooth extraction, proper aftercare will help ensure a smooth recovery. Bite gently on gauze to control bleeding, and keep the area clean while avoiding rinsing for the first 24 hours. Use ice packs to minimize swelling and take any prescribed pain medication as directed. Stick to soft foods and avoid using straws or smoking, which can delay healing. Within a few days, discomfort should ease as the area begins to heal.
