Is an Oral Surgery Extraction the Same as a Normal Extraction?

Is Extraction Required If I Have Periodontal Disease?

Call our Jacksonville office for an appointment and to ask any questions you may have.

Do You Always Extract Wisdom Teeth?

Sometimes, there's enough room in the jaw for wisdom teeth. However, there's frequently too little room, and eruption of the wisdom teeth causes the other teeth to become misaligned, so removing the wisdom teeth is the prudent choice. If they're not removed, they can become impacted and cause serious problems. If you have wisdom teeth coming in and your teeth are beginning to be misaligned, call us for an appointment.

Will a Tooth Extraction in Jacksonville Help Fix My Crowded Teeth?

Call our Jacksonville office if you want to set up an appointment for getting a tooth pulled.

Do You Provide Extraction Aftercare Instructions?

Your dentist will provide aftercare instructions for the first 24 hours as well as for the time it takes for the site to heal.

For the first 24 hours, you should avoid all strenuous activity and thereafter as directed by your dentist's instructions, which will also include directions for minimizing swelling and discomfort.

How Long Will It Take for My Extraction to Heal?
