A lot of people find tooth extraction fearsome, thinking that teeth are attached to bones and will excessive bleeding when extracted. This is a false mindset; teeth are actually attached to a series of fibers called periodontal ligaments. Through careful manipulation of these fibers, most teeth can be removed with ease. Afterwards, dentists will prescribe antibiotics and/or suggest over the counter pain killers for a few days.

San Clemente, CA -- (SBWire) -- 07/29/2014 --There’s nothing to fear in paying San Clemente dentists a visit for tooth extraction, especially when it’s really needed. It’s not like they are leave their patients toothless after the procedure. Modern dentistry’s main goal is to preserve one’s natural set of teeth for as long as possible – most dentists hope their patients stick to their gums or a lifetime. That’s why these experts always remind their patients to brush, floss and come visit them for regular examinations and cleanings. Though there are times that one or more teeth may need to be extracted. This may be in need for some reasons.

Trauma – knocked one’s mouth on a sliding door so hard, for example – might cause a tooth to crack or chip. Dentists may save this tooth though a root canal, a crown or perhaps both. Though sometimes, it depends on the severity of the damage, at some cases it’s just not possible. Decay or disease may also make it unreasonable to save a natural tooth. In these instances, it’s preferable to extract these damaged and decayed teeth with a durable, natural-looking dental implants.

Extraction may be the final step required to avoid further damage brought by a cracked or decayed tooth. Or, in the case of crowding or an impacted wisdom tooth, the procedure may be needed to avoid future risks. One need not fear if he’s undergoing the procedure, especially if he’s in the hands of an experienced dentists. Here’s basically how it works:

First, patients will undergo X-ray examination, this allows San Clemente dentist to see the tooth's exact position and foresee any potential complications. The patients’ medical and drug history is also assessed, so they can examine their patients’ general health and set up the options for anesthesia. Simpler tooth extractions may be executed under local anesthesia such as a numbing shot, with or without extra sedation like nitrous oxide or oral medication. More complex (or multiple) extractions may require conscious sedation that's administered intravenously into the bloodstream. Once the anesthesia has been administered the tooth can now be extracted, patients will barely feel a thing.

Tooth extraction also prevents the crowding of the teeth in the mouth. Isn’t it rewarding to have a bright and healthy smile? Knowing that one can face the world with a bright smile gives an extra kick of confidence.
