At Amherst Village Dental, Dr. Bernard Ang and the team want your dental health to be in tip top shape so that you can enjoy total body wellness.
When it comes to your teeth, we’ll take every measure possible to avoid removal unless absolutely necessary. If the situation arises, Dr. Ang and his team know how to execute the process painlessly and worry-free.
There are a few situations that would call for tooth extractions, such as:
Especially common in teenagers, wisdom molars grow in the back of our mouths and can cause overcrowding and intense pain. Dr. Ang can perform wisdom teeth removal so that you don’t have to suffer from pain.
At Amherst Village Dental, we understand life happens. If you ever have an emergency, Dr. Bernard and his team are here to help. We offer emergency dentistry for broken, chipped, or aching teeth. Call 603-673-5510 to get relief.
Taking care of your health shouldn’t be stressful. At Amherst Village Dental, we offer sedation dentistry to ensure a painless, worry-free experience.
After you have a procedure, we’ll always give thorough aftercare instructions, so you know exactly what to expect and how to handle the healing process. Dr. Bernard Ang will be happy to sit with you before and after your procedure to address any concerns or questions you have.
Extracting a tooth doesn’t take very long at all. On average, a single tooth will take 20-40 minutes. With multiple teeth, it may take longer.
We advise you to rest and follow the aftercare instructions we provide you.
Eating is fine after a procedure, as long as you’re eating soft foods that won’t harm your surgical site. We’ll provide you a list of foods to eat after your extraction.
After surgery, your tooth can be very vulnerable. Without proper hygiene, it’s prone to infection.
Dry socket is a condition in which the blood clot formed in your tooth’s empty socket is dislodged or harmed. This blood clot protects your socket, and without it, it can be compromised.
If your extraction site is infected, call Amherst Village Dental at 603-673-5510 so we can help you. We may be able to prescribe antibiotics for your infection.
It can take about a week to fully recover from a tooth extraction, but oftentimes you can return to your normal routine the day after a procedure. If possible, we recommend resting for at least 24 hours after your visit.
Tooth extractions are generally not painful. We’ll use a local anesthetic to numb the area and can administer sedation dentistry to ease your anxiety through the procedure.
Some pain and discomfort after an extraction are normal, and you can take painkillers as prescribed. If you are experiencing harsh pain more than a week after your procedure, call us so we can help you find relief.
Sometimes, teeth can be connected by the same nerves, so it’s possible they might feel some pain after an extraction.
Dr. Bernard Ang and the team at Amherst Village Dental want you to have the best care so that you can enjoy the benefits of a healthy smile.
