Tooth Extractions in Union City, NJ<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Providing gentle tooth extractions for patients who can benefit from tooth removal<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to recent estimates, nearly 3.5 billion people around the world suffer from<\/span> oral diseases<\/span><\/a>. There are several different reasons people may need tooth extractions, from routine reasons like pulling wisdom teeth to more critical ones like treating severe periodontal disease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other reasons for extractions include advanced tooth decay, overcrowded teeth, and tooth infection. If a person is going to be having braces fitted, an extraction or two may be needed to make room for other teeth as they shift.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tooth extraction is a fairly quick outpatient procedure during which local or general anesthesia is administered. IV anesthesia might also be used. A nitrous oxide mask (\u201claughing gas\u201d) can also be an option to help you relax. A tablet or pill can be taken before your procedure for the same purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n

During your free consultation, we will take X-rays, discuss your medical and dental history, and customize a personal treatment plan to map out the procedure you will undergo, including which type of extraction you need.<\/span><\/p>\n

Types of Tooth Extractions<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are two types of tooth extractions \u2013 simple and surgical. Which one you have will largely depend on the condition of the tooth (or teeth) that will be pulled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Simple Tooth Extractions<\/b><\/h3>\n

If the tooth is visible, usually, a simple procedure is all that is needed. Local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth is often sufficient for pain management purposes during simple extractions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the area is numb, you will feel pressure during the extraction but no pain. An instrument called an elevator will simply loosen the tooth to make it easier to remove, which is done with small forceps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Surgical Tooth Extractions<\/b><\/h3>\n

If your tooth is broken, impacted, or below the surface of the gum, a surgical extraction may be needed, which is more involved than a simple procedure. Depending on your specific situation, Dr. Diana Rodriguez, DMD, may need to cut the tooth or remove bone around it before extracting it.<\/span><\/p>\n

In specific limited cases, some people might receive general anesthesia for surgical tooth extractions, which would be determined by the presence of certain medical conditions. With general anesthesia, the patient remains \u201casleep\u201d and unconscious during the extraction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Usually, however, a combination of local and IV anesthesia is all that is needed for most patients. The local anesthesia numbs the area to be worked on, and IV anesthesia helps patients feel relaxed and calm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Preparing for Tooth Extractions<\/b><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s important that you tell Dr. Diana Rodriguez, DMD, about any and all medications you are currently taking before your appointment for your tooth extraction. This information includes prescription medications as well as over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and vitamins.<\/span><\/p>\n
