Do you struggle with any stubborn or painful teeth? Maybe a tooth of yours feels unnaturally loose, or the gums around it don’t seem right. Understanding the problem can be difficult at first, but in some cases, standard tooth extraction can provide much-needed relief and bring stability back to your oral health.
How Do I Know a Tooth Extraction Is Necessary?
We always recommend visiting a professional when any symptoms arise. Dr. Andrew Kim can fully assess any symptoms but generally speaking, many patients in need of extractions experience the following:
- An extremely painful tooth
- A severely decayed tooth
- Difficulty chewing food due to pain
- Swollen gums or presence of severe gum disease
- Pain from trauma that has broken a tooth below the gums
Standard extraction can effectively remove a tooth affected by decay, gum disease, or other conditions that ultimately create high levels of discomfort.
Wisdom Teeth Removal in Arlington, WA
Many of our patients in Arlington and surrounding areas require wisdom teeth extractions. Wisdom teeth can crowd other teeth and come in at different angles, damaging the gums and leading to infection. We do our best to protect our patients’ smiles by strategically removing wisdom teeth before they cause further issues.
Do Tooth Extractions Hurt?
Some may expect a tooth extraction procedure to cause high pain levels but rest assured we do everything to create a stress-free environment. We employ the use of local anesthetics to numb the teeth and gums. We prioritize a comfortable experience for our patients. Please speak with Dr. Andrew Kim if you have any concerns about any extraction procedures.
