We can take your tooth out.

Do you have a tooth that is in an extreme amount of pain? Maybe you’ve already discussed options for saving your tooth with your dentist and simply can’t afford it. Perhaps you’re just not interested in keeping the tooth. If so, Dr. Shultz can extract your tooth for you.

The procedure involves numbing the area to lessen any discomfort. After the extraction, we will advise you of what post extraction regimen to follow. In most cases, a small amount of bleeding is normal.

For the first few days, if you must rinse, rinse your mouth gently afterward, for pain or swelling, apply a cold cloth or an ice bag. You can brush and floss the other teeth as usual. But very gently clean the teeth next to the tooth socket.

Don’t try to extract your tooth yourself. That’s painful and can lead to all sorts of complications.  Don’t forget to ask how it can be replaced as there are multiple types of treatment to put it back to chew well again!
