At Oxnard Dental, we only suggest a tooth extraction when it is the most suitable course of action for your health and well-being. In the event of severe decay, a deep crack beneath the gumline, advanced infection, or overcrowding that impacts your bite, extractions may be necessary. We commence with an examination and X-rays, and subsequently provide an explanation of the situation and the likelihood of saving the tooth.

We concentrate on ensuring your comfort when extraction is the appropriate course of action. We apply a gentle numbing agent to the affected area, discuss sedation options with you if you are anxious, and carefully extract the tooth. Subsequently, you will receive clear instructions for home care to alleviate swelling and facilitate the healing process, as well as a pain management strategy that is logical.
