If you need extra assistance feeling at ease during your dental treatment, we offer nitrous oxide to help you relax and “take the edge off” during your extraction procedure. Nitrous works quickly to help you feel more comfortable and doesn’t leave you with uncomfortable lasting side effects.
Recovery From Your Tooth Extraction
Your team at Seymour Dental Associates is here to support you during your extraction procedure and throughout your recovery process. We’ll send you home with detailed instructions on dental care for your smile after tooth removal, but here are some helpful tips to keep in mind following your extraction procedure:
Stick to soft foods like yogurt, applesauce, scrambled eggs, or soup for the first few days.- Avoid drinking through a straw or smoking for the first 72 hours after your extraction. Sucking can dislodge the healing blood clot forming over the extraction site.
- After your tooth extraction, plan to rest at home for the remainder of the day and refrain from strenuous physical activity for the first 48 hours.
- Take prescription pain medication as needed.
If you experience any complications after your procedure, like excessive bleeding, don’t hesitate to contact us at (865) 579-3368.
Beyond Your Tooth Extraction
If you lose a tooth that’s not a wisdom tooth, it’s a good idea to discuss your tooth replacement options with Dr. Corey. A missing tooth can impact your dental health and result in bone loss or tooth movement and shifting if you don’t replace it.
Dental implants or a bridge can be excellent tooth replacement solutions depending on your needs. Our dentist will review your tooth replacement options with you so you can select the right treatment for your lifestyle, needs, and budget.
If you have questions or concerns about a tooth extraction procedure or need support during recovery, contact your best dentist in Seymour TN at (865) 579-3368.

Though this prospect can seem a bit daunting, understanding when and why a tooth extraction is necessary and the details of the procedure itself can go a long way in alleviating any concerns and preparing you for the process.
