Benefits Of Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are always performed with your overall health in mind. There are benefits to having a tooth pulled, including:
- Prevention of decay and infection: Sometimes the best way to keep a problem from spreading is to eliminate it right where it took root. Tooth extraction can be the best way to ensure the continued safety and health of all your teeth.
- Providing adequate space: An overcrowded mouth can come with a slew of its own problems and complications, such as greater risk of injury, infection, or wear to protrusive or misaligned teeth. Extracting some of the excess teeth can drastically improve your ability to brush and floss thoroughly.
- Relief from pain and difficulty: Having a tooth pulled can be the most efficient way to eliminate pain, restore full functionality to the mouth, and correct certain speech or eating difficulties.
There are many benefits and reasons for a tooth extraction. You can always rest assured that our dentists have considered all your options and are proceeding with what is best for both your oral and overall health. If you think you might need a tooth extraction, then immediately call our conveniently located Future Of Dentistry practice serving Chelmsford, Lowell, and beyond (978-970-2089) to see a tooth extraction dentist today.

Simple Healing

After 24 hours, let your body be your guide and proceed with your normal routine as soon as you feel comfortable. You will be provided with verbal and written post-op instructions to refer to during your quick recovery process.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Your wisdom teeth are an extra set of molars that typically grow in between the ages of 17 and 25. Although these wisdom teeth were useful at one time, we no longer need them.
Wisdom tooth removal is a type of extraction procedure we perform at Future Of Dentistry, serving Chelmsford and Lowell. Having a wisdom tooth pulled can relieve overcrowding. In this case, tooth extraction protects your other teeth from uneven wear and other forms of damage.
We can even remove wisdom teeth that have become impacted, which is when a wisdom tooth grows at an odd angle or becomes trapped beneath the gums. Rather than referring you to a specialist of some sort, we can perform impacted wisdom teeth removal in-house at our state-of-the-art Chelmsford practice.
How To Remove Wisdom Teeth?
If you’re interested in wisdom tooth removal, begin by calling Future Of Dentistry in Chelmsford, and scheduling an appointment. Our dentists will spend time getting to know you and your exact dental needs.
Next, they’ll perform diagnostic tests to get a complete picture of your teeth and jaw. X-rays can show the position of wisdom teeth before they’ve broken through the gum line.
The wisdom teeth removal process can be completely performed in-house, and is usually completed in under an hour. Here’s what a standard wisdom tooth removal procedure might look like:
- First, we’ll numb you by administering local anesthesia.
- If surgical removal is necessary, we’ll make an incision in the gums.
- Next, the wisdom tooth is removed either whole or in pieces, and the entire area is irrigated and cleaned.
- If necessary, sutures are placed at the extraction site/s.
- Finally, gauze is used to stop any bleeding.
- We will always make sure you have all the information and tools you need for a smooth recovery process.
