Post Tooth Extraction Care
Tooth extractions have a relatively simple recovery process. Typically, you can return back to normal activities within a few days. Immediately following the procedure, take any prescribed pain medication exactly as instructed. Bite firmly on a piece of gauze until bleeding has subsided. If you’re experiencing swelling and discomfort, an ice pack may be applied in ten-minute increments. As you are healing, it’s important to avoid drinking from a straw or smoking, as this can lead to dry socket — a complication that involves knocking the blood clot loose.
Paying for a Dental Extraction
The tooth extraction cost ranges depending on the extent of the extraction. During your first visit, we will take comprehensive X-rays to determine the best type of extraction and create a custom treatment plan for you. When we recommend an extraction, it’s with good reason. We understand the severity of your case and hope to provide you with as many financing options as possible. We accept several dental insurance providers and even offer our own Gold Dental Discount Plan for our uninsured patients. Contact us to see how we can make your treatment affordable!
