Gentle and Expert Tooth Extractions in Worcester, MA

Tooth extractions are performed for various reasons, including severe decay, infection, impact damage, or to resolve overcrowding and facilitate orthodontic treatment. Wisdom teeth removal, a common form of extraction, is also a significant part of our services. We prioritize patient education, ensuring you understand the necessity and benefits of the procedure, thereby making informed decisions about your oral health.

The process begins with a thorough examination by Dr. Oswal, utilizing advanced imaging techniques to plan the extraction meticulously. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure a pain-free experience, and sedation options are available for those who may feel anxious. Our team's approach is not just about removing a tooth but doing so with a focus on minimizing discomfort and promoting rapid healing.

Post-extraction care is crucial for healing. We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to manage discomfort, prevent infection, and encourage healing. Tips on diet, oral hygiene, and activity restrictions will be shared, alongside the importance of follow-up appointments to monitor recovery and discuss further dental health strategies.
