\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Unlike other dental services, tooth extractions in Orange Park don\u2019t have the best reputation. After all, they\u2019re meant to be a last resort \u2014 it\u2019s only natural that people would spread hushed rumors. The truth, however, is that most of these stereotypes are false! Rather than a bogeyman, tooth extraction<\/a> is simply one helpful way to improve oral health. Your local dentist even has evidence for these claims. Here are four busted myths about tooth extractions and why they\u2019re untrue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cTooth Extraction is Always Painful\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The biggest myth about extraction is that it\u2019s painful. Since an adult tooth is usually permanent, many assume removing one upsets various nerves. To avoid this supposed pain, some patients will even delay the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, this idea isn\u2019t true \u2014 the extraction process is painless! For starters, modern dentists use minimally invasive methods for it. Plus, they\u2019ll use an anesthetic to numb your mouth before treatment. As a result, you won\u2019t feel discomfort, just mild pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRecovery Takes a Long Time\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another rumor states extraction involves a long recovery. It pulls out a normally-stable body part, so some believe the body needs more time to heal. As such, a patient will have to wait months to recuperate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, it only takes one or two weeks to recover from an extraction. Your body can quickly heal the treated socket in that time. So long as you follow the proper aftercare, then, you\u2019ll be just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDentists Only Extract Wisdom Teeth\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on hearsay, a few people claim that dentists only extract wisdom teeth. Therefore, there\u2019s no reason to have any other tooth pulled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, said claim is baseless. Dentists can and do extract non-wisdom teeth for various reasons. For example, your own may suggest removing a tooth damaged by decay or injury. On the other hand, they might need to pull one that struggles to erupt. Otherwise, it could become impacted and cause enormous pain. Extractions are also common before orthodontic work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReplacing an Extracted Tooth isn\u2019t Necessary\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An extraction removes a decayed or infected tooth, so you may think your problem is gone when it wraps up. In this view, you don\u2019t need to replace the now-missing tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, it\u2019s a horrible idea not to replace your pearly white. Without a dental prosthetic, your mouth\u2019s smile gap will shift your other teeth. This shifting, in turn, could lead to a crooked smile and a misaligned bite. The empty socket would also cause bone loss in your jaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, tooth extractions in Orange Park don\u2019t deserve their bad rap. That being the case, talk to your dental practice about getting one if the need arises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
