Stop smoking


The oral surgeon will require that you stop smoking before any surgical operation. Smoking makes the healing process slow down and therefore this makes the oral surgeon recommend that you stop smoking before the procedure. Smoking can also block the blood arteries that allow the flow of oxygen and this can cause problems during surgery.


Talk to the oral surgeon


Before having teeth extracted, there are a few things you should do. First, discuss to the dentist your medical history. Our dentist will be present to help you and will ask you relevant questions about your dental history. Any drugs you are taking, as well as any allergies you may have that might cause you to react to specific medications, must be disclosed to the dentist. During a dental operation such as an extraction, you will need to make transportation arrangements. This is because anesthetic and pain medicine have distinct reactions. You’ll need a trustworthy driver, caregiver, or spouse to drive you to the dentist and pick you up after the operation. Our oral surgeons are ready to give you a great and beautiful smile and oral health that you have always wanted.
