Dental Extractions (Tooth Removal)
at Sandia Oral Surgery in
Albuquerque New Mexico
Teeth may need to be removed for a number of
reasons, usually due to extensive decay, ‘gum’
disease, or trauma resulting in painful, abscessed
and/or loose teeth. In some non-emergency situations
involving one or several teeth, we will evaluate and
treat you at the same visit provided we use local
anesthesia.
If your dentist has recently taken x-rays which show
all of the teeth in question, please bring them with you to your appoint
ment. Most patients prefer not to return to work on the day a tooth is
extracted, usually because of minor post-extraction bleeding and
discomfort. We will provide you with post-operative instructions, extra
gauze and a prescription for pain medication or antibiotics (if indicated)
after your treatment is complete. You can expect mild to moderate
discomfort for a few days following the extraction. There may be some
swelling, stretching of your lip, or bruising. In general, you should start to
feel better after 2-3 days. If you do not, please let us know.
If you prefer to be sedated or ‘go to sleep’, a preoperative appointment to
evaluate you and discuss anesthesia options is mandatory. This allows
us the opportunity to review your medical history, determine what procedure
(s) are needed and otherwise prepare you for your procedure.
If your medical history is complex and you are taking a number of
prescribed medications, we may need to discuss your dental treatment
with your physician before we can treat you. Please bring a list of all
medications you are currently taking with you to your first appointment.
