Specializes in Dentistry

Extraction: Your dentist will explain to you what he\she is doing and why. You will get a local anesthetic injection to make you completely numb. Some patients get "sweet air' or IV sedation. Your dentist will use special instruments to remove your tooth. Then you will get instructions. You will have some soreness, minimal initial bleeding. Ask your treating dentist whatever else you need to know.
