Pain Relief from a Damaged or Impacted Tooth

Even though many patients believe that tooth extraction is painful, the opposite is true. When a patient visits our dentist in Glendale, AZ because of pain from a damaged tooth or an impacted wisdom tooth, the one thing they’re looking for is pain relief. Our office can provide that relief quickly during a simple tooth extraction — with many patients resuming their normal activities afterward. If a tooth has to be surgically removed – such as a wisdom tooth — there will be a longer healing time, but most patients can resume activities within 24-48 hours.

Procedure for Tooth Extraction 

Our dentist will first apply a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. If you have multiple teeth that will be removed during the same appointment, our dentist may recommend sedation dentistry as a treatment option for maximum comfort during the procedure.

Once the area around your tooth is numb, the removal of the tooth is actually a relatively quick process – only a matter of a minute or two. A dental instrument is used to gently rock the tooth in a motion that will loosen it. Next, our dentist will use forceps to remove the tooth, and complete aftercare instructions will be provided (please see below).

Tooth Extractions Aftercare

Our office will provide you with complete aftercare instructions after your tooth extraction in Glendale, AZ. If you’d like to prepare ahead of time, some of the instructions that you’ll need to follow include leaving the gauze pad in place for the recommended period, rinsing your mouth with a salt solution, applying ice to the affected area, and using over-the-counter painkillers if needed. You’ll be able to reach Dobra Dental 24/7 should you have specific questions about your aftercare from a tooth extraction in Glendale, AZ.
