Broken Below Gumline: Fracture extends into root
Advanced Gum Disease: Tooth is loose and non-restorable
Impacted Wisdom Tooth: Causing pain, infection, or damage
Trauma: Tooth knocked loose or severely damaged

Sedation Options for Comfort

Local Anesthesia Only: Numbing injection, fully awake
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Relaxed, calm, minimal memory
Oral Sedation: Take pill before appointment, drowsy but responsive
IV Sedation: Deep relaxation for complex cases (arranged with specialist)

Immediate Aftercare (First 24 Hours)

Critical First Day:

Bite Gauze: 30-45 minutes with firm pressure to stop bleeding
Ice Pack: 20 minutes on/off to reduce swelling
Rest: Take it easy, avoid strenuous activity
NO Smoking: Delays healing, increases dry socket risk dramatically
NO Straws: Suction can dislodge blood clot
NO Spitting: Gentle rinsing only
Soft Foods: Yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes, soup
Sleep Elevated: Extra pillow reduces swelling
Take Medications: Pain relievers and antibiotics as prescribed

Recovery Timeline

Day 1-3: Most discomfort, swelling peaks day 2-3
Day 4-7: Significant improvement, return to normal diet
Week 2: Socket healing well, minimal discomfort
Week 3-4: Soft tissue fully healed
3-6 Months: Bone fills in extraction site

Preventing Dry Socket

Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) occurs when blood clot dislodges, exposing bone. It's painful but preventable:

Don't Smoke: #1 cause of dry socket (wait 72 hours minimum)
No Straws: Suction dislodges clot
Gentle Rinsing: Don't rinse vigorously first 24 hours
Soft Foods: Avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods
Follow Instructions: Take all prescribed medications

Dry Socket Symptoms: Severe pain 3-4 days after extraction, bad breath, visible bone. Call immediately—we can treat it same-day.
