Tooth Extraction Can Help Protect Your Oral Health

While we understand that the idea of tooth loss can be intimidating and even scary, if you need a tooth removed, our team at Sea Isle Smiles in Sea Isle City, NJ, is here to help with compassionate, efficient, and personalized care.

Why Might I Need A Tooth Extraction?

If you have a tooth that’s severely fractured or decayed, and restorative treatments aren’t an option to save it, a tooth extraction is often required. Patients with overcrowding issues may also need one or more teeth removed to create space in their mouth, and those with advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can also require extractions as this disease can lead to the loss of supporting bone and soft tissues surrounding teeth.

How Do I Care For My Mouth Following An Extraction

Once your tooth has been removed, we’ll place gauze over the tooth socket to control the bleeding. Once the bleeding has slowed, we’ll walk you through after-care tips, medication recommendations, and details on what to expect in the days and weeks that follow this service. We’ll also provide you with written information and instructions to reference when you’re home.

At Sea Isle Smiles, your optimal oral health is always our priority! If you know or suspect that you need a tooth removed, call us today and we’ll be happy to schedule a thorough consultation to examine your mouth and care for your smile.
