Simple tooth extraction is available at Perfect Smile Dental in Tijuana, Mexico. Digital X-rays help assess the tooth before removal, and IV sedation is available alongside local anesthetic.
How tooth extraction is performed
The dentist first takes digital X-rays to plan the extraction. Local anesthetic is then given to numb the area.
An elevator loosens the ligaments and gum tissue around the tooth. Forceps gently rock the tooth until it is free.
Gauze is placed in the socket to help control bleeding. Stitches may be placed if needed.
After the extraction
Patients bite on gauze to control bleeding and follow any prescription instructions. The clinic follows ADA, OSHA, and CDC infection control standards.
