TOOTH EXTRACTION IN LINDENHURST

Dentist try to preserve natural smile, but at times due to a variety of reasons, teeth are required to be removed. Megan N Gray DDS is a renowned dental office, offering tooth extraction service in Lindenhurst and other suburban communities. Tooth extraction is a procedure in which the decayed/damaged tooth is removed forcefully to prevent the rest of your smile from experiencing gum disease, infection or further tooth decay. We perform Simple and Wisdom Tooth Extractions using an instrument called elevator to loosen the tooth and forceps to remove it.

Reasons for tooth extraction can be: Tooth badly damaged from trauma or decay, Overcrowding in the mouth, Infection risking the health of other teeth, Impacted wisdom tooth, etc. Permanent teeth may also need to be removed for orthodontic treatment.

Tooth extraction is carried out with local anesthesia, which numbs the teeth to be removed, and the surrounding bone & gum tissues, causing you no pain during the treatment. However, it's normal to experience mild post-operative discomfort or swelling. We recommend using ice packs on the outside of your jaw, and eating softer food. After few days, all should be back to normal.
