Norman & Gill Dentistry

Your dentist has told you you need a tooth pulled, but you don't know what to expect. The thought of having a tooth pulled can make you worry and ask questions, whether it's due to serious decay, advanced gum disease, or a tooth that can't be repaired. If a tooth can't be saved, leaving it in place isn't a good idea. Infection might move to nearby teeth and bone. Crowding can get worse. Pain can last. Taking out a troublesome tooth is sometimes the best thing you can do for your whole smile. We do tooth extractions at Norman & Gill Dentistry with care and open communication. Before every procedure, we always take the time to explain why it's necessary and what you can expect during recuperation. We offer choices to help you feel better and provide full aftercare recommendations to support your healing. The good thing about a necessary tooth extraction is that it relieves pain and eliminates the infection. It gives your mouth time to become healthy, whether that means letting nearby teeth work better or getting ready for a future repair like an implant or bridge. When removal is the best option, we want to give you kind care. We're here to discuss if you're getting an extraction or just want to know more about your options.
