Occasionally, a tooth may become so damaged from injury, illness, infection, or decay that it must be extracted. Additionally, adult teeth may be overcrowded and tooth removal is a necessary part of the alignment process. At Fioritto Family Dental, our experienced dentists are qualified to safely pull teeth and deliver the aftercare you need to recover and regain health, function, and a beautiful smile. To avoid complications that could compromise your recovery, it’s important to follow all tooth extraction care instructions. When an adult tooth is extracted, it’s natural for the socket to bleed, even if stitches are in place. Our dental support staff will provide you with gauze pads and instruct you to gently place them onto the socket to absorb the drainage, staunch any bleeding and promote clotting. Typically, you’ll want to leave gauze in place for 3-4 hours following your tooth extraction, changing it out as necessary. To promote clotting, we recommend patients avoid rinsing, smoking, and drinking through a straw for 24 hours.
