Will I Be Missing My Tooth Forever?
While some patients choose not to have their tooth replaced, there are options to replace an extracted tooth. We offer several restorative dentistry options here in our office for your convenience. Once the extraction site has healed, you can explore options for a prosthetic tooth with your dentist.
Do Tooth Extractions Hurt?
This can vary from patient to patient. While your oral surgeon will take all necessary measures to make the process as comfortable as possible, including anesthesia, you may still experience some discomfort during the procedure. Understand that this should not be an alarming or unbearable amount of pain. If you’re experiencing extreme pain, alert your dentist immediately. They’ll be able to administer more anesthesia or consider a different approach.
What Can I Expect Following A Tooth Extraction?
Expect swelling, bruising, some pain, and possibly some bleeding. To mitigate this discomfort and reduce the risk of infection, your dentist may prescribe pain medications or antibiotics. Be sure to follow all prescription and aftercare instructions to ensure a speedy and problem-free recovery.

What are the common signs and symptoms I should be aware of?
If you have obstructive sleep apnea, some of the most common signs include loud snoring, stopping breathing while asleep, gasping for air during sleep, dry mouth on waking, morning headaches, insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia), and mood changes. It’s important to talk with your doctor and/or dentist if you believe you may suffer from sleep apnea.
Can sleep apnea be cured, or is it a manageable condition?
Yes! In many cases, sleep apnea can be either cured or managed depending on the root cause of the disorder. If you’re curious about the options available to you, call our office to schedule your consultation.
Will sleep apnea treatment need to be continued for life?
Many who receive sleep apnea treatment are lifelong patients. The root cause of your sleep apnea will often dictate treatment options and how long you can expect to continue treatment for sleep apnea.
