What is a Tooth Extraction?
Extracting an adult tooth is only done as a last resort, but in some cases it is really the only option. Whether this is because the tooth has died and it will be coming out soon anyway, or because the tooth is so damaged that it can’t be fixed, it is important to know how to best recover after a tooth extraction in Clifton, NJ. Of course, your dentist will do all they can to minimize any pain or discomfort, but when you have a tooth pulled, there will be some issues during the recovery process.
The pain, however, can be eliminated by following some important tips and tricks that have been shown to help your mouth heal faster and easier. This will start when Dr. Doktorman uses the advanced Vibraject delivery option for your anesthetic, which eliminates the pain of the injection. The anesthetic will then help make the extraction completely painless. Once you get home, however, you should follow the below recommendations to ensure your recovery is pleasant.
Advantages
Tooth Extraction Recovery Tips
Whether you are having just one tooth pulled or multiple, you will want to be as prepared for the experience as possible. When you come home after tooth extractions in Clifton, NJ you will want to make sure you do all you can to speed the recovery along, and these tips will help:
Take Medication Before your Appointment
If you take a dose of your preferred over the counter pain medication just before you go in for your tooth extraction, it will be working by the time the anesthetic from the dentist wears off. This can help to minimize the pain you’ll feel.
Avoid Straws
Many people like to drink out of straws while recovering because it is easier than having to sit up. When you suck on the straw, however, it will pull on the opening in your mouth and could cause more pain. This can also pull out a blood clot and cause the spot where your tooth was pulled to begin bleeding again.
Ice Chips
By keeping ice chips in your mouth you will be getting extra water, which is always good for healing, and you’ll also be numbing the spot where the tooth was extracted. This can help to reduce pain and allow you to be more comfortable.
Keep it Clean
Keeping your mouth clean is very important, but you can’t really brush very well for at least a couple days. Instead, try rinsing your mouth out with salt water to flush away any germs or bacteria.
Of course, you should also listen to your dentist in Clifton whenever you have any procedure performed. They will often provide you with a list of recovery steps to help you through the first few days. With proper care, however, you can typically be back up and functioning like normal quite quickly. If you have any troubles or extreme pain, make sure you contact your dentist right away. Tooth extractions in Clifton, NJ are fairly routine and are not something that you should be overly concerned about as long as you take the right steps for recovery.

Testimonials
What our clients say
My recent visit to the dentist for dental crowns exceeded all my expectations. The attention to detail and the dentist’s commitment to perfection were evident throughout the procedure. I’m genuinely impressed!
I can’t thank my dentist enough for the wonderful dental implants. The transformation in my oral health is remarkable. From the initial consultation to the final result, the entire journey was top-notch.
Remarkable how the dental crowns seamlessly blend with my existing teeth – a true testament to the dentist’s artistry. The procedure was comfortable, and I’m thrilled with my rejuvenated smile.
They are the best in this field. They provided quality service. Throughout the whole process, they support me like none other. Will surely recommend my friends and family.
Doctor Edward Doktorman luckily for me, has been my Dentist of choice for so many years. I have done multiple implants, root canals, bone graft, new posts and crowns, deep cleaning, filling, recementing, and other dental procedures in this office, and never had any issues afterwards. Dr. Edward and his staff are also great people on the personal level, very accommodating, very friendly, nice, helpful, go out of their ways to make the patient feel comfortable, and always smiling and joking with patients to lessen the stress of being at the dentist office. The Doctor always takes X-rays much more often than other dentists do before and after procedures (at no add’l cost to the patient) to make sure his work is done perfectly and satisfactorily. He always takes his time to explain in details what the diagnosis is and what needs to be done in an easy to understand language. You are no doubt in good hands with Doktorman.
From phone, to door, to chair, back to the door, this was a very positive experience. I put off a root canal for way too long. Don’t do that, by the way. Anyway, I ended up with a very angry abscess, went to one of those online doctors for $65 and got antibiotics and a dental rinse, and as soon as the swelling was sufficiently down, I decided to just have the tooth yanked. Back molar, not going to miss it too much, a lot cheaper than even going to Los Algones Mexico for a root canal which honestly these days makes a lot more sense than having it done for the higher price (even when factoring in air fare and hotel for dental tourism to Mexico) here in the States. In any case, everyone, and I mean everyone at this office is so friendly and polite and professional and efficient. It just so happened, and I certainly can’t guarantee this nor could this dentist, but I ended up being charged slightly less than the estimate they gave me. Even had it been the top and of the estimate, it’s still would have been a good deal. I would add that I am not a fan of Novocaine at all, and have had dental work done before without the shot because the regular pain I can handle, but I’m a baby about the Novocaine shot. This time I didn’t want to mess around since I was having a tooth pulled, but the dentist gave a fantastic shot and the entire procedure he did an excellent job. The healing process has been going very well with the exception of a bit of sharp bone sticking out the inner side of my gum (according to Google, this is not abnormal after a tooth extraction) and attacking my tongue on that side. I let them know about this today which is a Monday. I’m not scheduled to be back to have the stitches out until Thursday, but they told me that they would fit me in tomorrow.So let’s review: everyone in that office is friendly, professional, responsive, accommodating and efficient, the pricing is very gentle, and the dentist himself Dr. Doktorman does excellent work. So if you’re anywhere in reasonable commute distance and in need of a dentist, this seems like a pretty obvious choice. Going to a dentist is not recreational, but seriously, you’re going to be happy with them here.

When is tooth extraction necessary?
Tooth extraction may be necessary for various reasons, including severe tooth decay, advanced gum disease, overcrowding, impaction (e.g., wisdom teeth), trauma, or preparation for orthodontic treatment.
