Teeth that are severely decayed or fractured and cannot restored, may need to be extracted. If there is an active infection, which usually results in pain, in most cases the tooth will need to be extracted. Patients will receive local anesthesia so during the procedure, so there is no pain felt, or be referred to a local oral surgeon that we trust for optimum care and specialties. After an oral surgery procedure, the patient must follow the proper homecare provided to them to promote healing and prevent further complications.
