Safe and Effective Tooth Extractions in Oklahoma City
Removing a tooth is sometimes the best solution to prevent infection, relieve pain, or create space for orthodontic treatment. While preserving natural teeth is always the goal, severe decay, injury, or overcrowding can make tooth extraction the right choice. Brixton Family Dental provides expert care to make the process as efficient and comfortable as possible.
We use local anesthesia to numb the area and offer nitrous oxide sedation for a relaxed experience. Emergency tooth extractions are also available for urgent situations requiring immediate attention. Following post-procedure guidelines will promote proper healing and minimize discomfort.

What should I avoid eating after a tooth extraction?
Stick to soft foods and avoid crunchy, hot, or spicy items for at least 24 hours. Hard or chewy foods can disturb the extraction site and delay healing.

Can a tooth extraction cause changes in my bite?
Losing a tooth can alter your bite over time, but replacing it with a dental implant or bridge can help maintain proper alignment. Dr. Sigmon will discuss the best options for preserving your smile.
