The removal of one or two teeth is a simple procedure. Extracting multiple teeth requires that the jawbone be shaped and removed to prepare for a denture. You may experience the following after a multiple tooth extraction procedure. Within two days, you will experience the maximum swelling both inside the mouth and possibly around the eye as well. The area around your eye may also become discolored, which may be alleviated by a warm compress. The muscles near the extraction site may become sore after surgery, causing a sore throat. This is normal as well as the corners of your mouth becoming dry and cracked from being stretched open during surgery. In most cases, you will have a follow up appointment with your dentist within 48 hours after surgery to discuss any post surgery symptoms that you are experiencing.
I have been a frequent patient in dentist’s offices for 60 years. Dr. Waddell and her entire staff were absolutely among my top 5 experiences ever. The energy in the office was calm, friendly, professional and absolutely reassured me that I had come to the right place. Their ability to fit me in immediately was so greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this dental practice.
