Only dentists highly trained in oral surgery can perform tooth extractions. At your appointment Dr. Latourelle will numb the tooth to prepare it for extraction. Once the patient is relaxed, the tooth is removed using forceps to grasp the tooth and gently rock it back and forth to loosen it from the jawbone. After removal the gums are sealed with a few medical stitches.
After tooth loss recovery relatively simple by introducing soft foods and keeping the mouth clean with gentle brushing as the stitches heal or dissolve.
