  2. Tooth extraction is one of the most common procedures operated by dentists. There are many reasons why you can have a tooth extracted, including crowded teeth or teeth that have decayed over time. Especially when you suffer from persistent pain, and you have an infection in the area, it is essential that you have your tooth pulled out as soon as possible. Of course, you will need a professional with proven experience and thorough knowledge in the field. Only the most reliable dentist in Lake Oswego can live up to your expectations and complete the process in a timely, painless manner.

  3. How to Optimize Tooth Extraction Recovery As soon as the tooth extraction is complete, you will need to take some precautions that allow your dental cavity to fully restore its prime state. First of all, the dentist will address the damage and see if any stitches are necessary. If they are, you do not need to worry about them. They are self-dissolving and this means that no extra medical attention is required. Apart from the stitches, the dentist will apply a gauze pad on top of the extracted tooth surface. This will help remove the extra blood and hence prevent any clots from being formed.

  4. Your dentist will also prescribe you some painkillers and in certain circumstances, he will also suggest antibiotics. Be cautious and follow the instructions of the dentist to the letter. This is the best way for you to expect full recovery as soon as possible. If the pain persists, you can try out an ice bag placed on your cheek. This typically helps, because it makes the area numb. As far as relaxation is concerned, you need to rest as much as you can for at least a day or two after the tooth extraction. Do not push yourself to the limits, unless you absolutely have to. For instance, it is not advised for you to lift excessive weight or get tired after the extraction.

  5. As the dentist will suggest, do not smoke and prefer liquid foods instead of solids. This will help you out, as you will avoid the impact of chewing. At regular intervals, you should rinse your mouth using a solution that has been especially designed for recovery purposes. It goes without even saying that you ought to brush your teeth, avoiding the specific area. Trust your dental cavity to a seasoned Lake Oswego dentist with adequate knowledge and prior experience, in order to make the most of challenging procedures such as tooth extraction.
