Are There Any Risks Associated with Tooth Extractions?
As with any dental procedure, there are several risks associated with tooth extraction- but if the dentists at All Star Implants recommend it, the advantages are much greater than the chance of complications.
Typically, following a tooth extraction, your body will naturally form a blood clot in the empty socket- but if the clot does not form or comes out, the bone may be exposed. This is known as “dry socket”. If this occurs, the dentist will place a sedative dressing over it for a few days, during which time a new clot should form.
- Some other risks of tooth extraction:
- Bleeding lasting more than 12 hours
- Severe fever/chills (indicates infection)
- Cough
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Chest pain/shortness of breath
- Damage to adjacent teeth
- Prolonged numbness
- Damage to the sinus
- Swelling/redness at surgical site
- If you experience any of the above following a tooth extraction, you need to contact the dental team at All Star Implants as soon as possible so that we can address the issue before it escalates.
Our team at All Star Implants is dedicated to minimizing these risks and providing you with the best possible care. If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms during your recovery, please contact All Star Implants in Garner, NC or Call us at (919) 205 4666 immediately.
