Getting A Tooth Extraction in Odessa, FL
While the thought of having a tooth pulled can be scary and nerve-wracking, sometimes tooth extractions are the best course of treatment for your smile. A tooth extraction is when a dental surgeon removes a tooth and its roots from your mouth, by pulling it out of its socket in its entirety. The socket is the little space in which the tooth sits within your jawbone.

THE TOOTH EXTRACTION OPTIONS
Simple Tooth Extraction
The first method is called a simple extraction, which is used for teeth that are visible and easily accessible. Most teeth can be removed with simple extractions, so long as they aren’t severely compromised by breakage or infection. The full procedure follows these steps: The dentist starts with a local anesthetic to numb the tooth and surrounding area. The tooth’s roots are full of nerves, so numbing them will drastically reduce pain. The patient’s mouth needs to be kept open, so a spacer, called an elevator, is used to accomplish this. It is possible to forego this step; however, it is generally better to include it to reduce fatigue and strain on the jaw. Extraction forceps are used to pull the tooth directly from the socket. Forceps like this are specially designed to get a grip on a tooth and to give the dentist plenty of leverage. This allows the dentist to remove it as gently as possible, and avoid damaging the surrounding area. After the tooth is extracted, the empty socket is cleaned thoroughly to remove any loose bone and tissue. The socket is compressed to reshape the jawbone, reduce and manage bleeding, and to close up the open space.
Surgical Tooth Extraction
The second method is known as a surgical extraction, and is employed when a tooth is in a critical condition, or difficult location. You may recognize this as the method used for wisdom teeth, but this also applies to teeth with extensive breakage, that are impacted, or just developed exceptionally long roots. Every surgical extraction is different, depending greatly on the tooth, and the patient, and so it’s difficult to give an exact procedure. A much stronger anesthetic may be used, or you may be put to sleep all together. X-rays need to be taken to determine the exact state, location, and/or orientation of the tooth, as it could be growing in the wrong direction. An oral surgeon will often be called in to perform the surgery, although it is entirely possible for a general dentist to perform it as well, depending on their level of experience.
Recovery Time and Expectations
It is important that during the healing process, you follow the specific instructions set out for you, including rinsing your mouth out with salt water to reduce swelling, eating soft foods, applying a cold compress to the outside of your mouth, and avoiding using straws or smoking. If you follow these instructions and take care of the extraction site, you should be well on your way to a full recovery in no time!

What an amazing experience ! I been to many dental offices due to traveling to different cities , due to my career.
I felt very comfortable with the whole staff and both Dr. Christina and Dr.Raffoul were beyond educated and professional.
She was very caring and check all areas of my oral health properly without rushing and missing things that other dentists have missed which led me to having huge problems in the future.
The doctor was very conservative and not aggressive regarding treatment, truly treatment me like family.
Thank you for the amazing visit, I love forward to coming back.

I had two bad teeth, with one severely infected. On top of that, I suffer from extreme anxiety and one of my triggers is needles. Everyone at Spring Haven Dental showed care and kindness. Dr. Fadi Raffoul was phenomenal. He showed me a level of patience with me as a patient unlike any Doctor ever had and handled my anxiety like a true master of his trade. The teeth came out quickly, and I will go nowhere else for my dental needs!

I just moved to the area from out of state and wanted a dentist close by where I will soon be moving to and liked the reviews Dr Lee and her staff received and they were accurate! Everyone was professional but friendly and welcoming. Dr Lee listened to my concerns and evaluated the current health of my teeth and didn’t make any unnecessary recommendations. Loved the complimentary hand “spa” which I found relaxing and took my mind away from the whirring of the cleaning drill (of which I am not a fan, however, Indy the hygienist was gentle and didn’t cause me any discomfort). Overall I had a very pleasant and painless experience and I will be having my kids go here when they come home from college breaks!
