Tooth Extractions in Annapolis, MD

There are several reasons you might need a tooth extraction, including severe decay, infection, overcrowding, or damage that cannot be repaired. Dr. Sidlowski will evaluate your specific situation and recommend the best course of action.

At Chesapeake Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, we focus on basic tooth extractions, which involve removing visible teeth that are easily accessible. Although we can address some wisdom teeth removals, please note that we rarely offer this service and may refer complex cases to a specialist.

Recovery time varies depending on the individual and the complexity of the extraction. Generally, patients can expect to heal within a few days to a week. Dr. Sidlowski will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.

It's important to follow a soft food diet for the first few days after your extraction. Avoid hot, spicy, or hard foods that could irritate the extraction site. Dr. Sidlowski will give you specific dietary recommendations to help with your recovery.

Some discomfort is normal after a tooth extraction. Over-the-counter pain relievers and cold compresses can help manage the pain. If you experience severe or prolonged pain, contact Dr. Sidlowski immediately for further evaluation and care.
