• Ice packs and/or warm compresses to reduce swelling and pain
• Eat soft and cool foods for a few days, trying other food as you feel comfortable.
• Gently rinse with warm salt water
• Expect any swelling and bleeding to end within a day or two after the surgery
• You should not smoke, use a straw or spit after surgery because these can pull the blood clot out of the hole where the tooth was

• Xrays
• Prescribe antibiotics - if you have an infection, certain medical conditions or the surgery is expected be long
• Ask you to not smoke
• In certain situations ask you to arrange transportation

• Simple extraction - this is the most common tooth removal and is used for teeth you can see
• Surgical extraction - this is more complex and is generally for teeth that are broken off below the gum or those which haven't erupted yet

• Impacted Teeth
• A broken or decayed tooth that can't be saved
• More room is needed for braces or other orthodontics
• Baby teeth or other teeth that don't fall out or crowd others from growing in properly
