Low-Cost Tooth Extraction in Albuquerque

Tooth pain can be excruciating. It can keep you up at night and can even prevent you from performing your day-to-day activities. At Albuquerque Family Dental Practice, we have performed thousands of Albuquerque low-cost tooth extractions to help ease people’s pain. Using various combinations of local anesthetics and nitrous oxide sedation, we can alleviate your pain that is caused by teeth that are beyond restorative care.

Tooth Extraction Types
There are two types of tooth extractions: simple—removing the tooth without breaking through the gum—and surgical—removing the tooth by making an incision. At Albuquerque Family Dental Practice, we perform simple extractions while utilizing the latest infection control measures. The most common reasons to perform a simple tooth extraction include:

By evaluating your dental condition, we can determine what type of extraction may need to be performed and we can give you an overview of your options. We strive to help our patients make informed decisions regarding their oral health.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation
At Albuquerque Family Dental Practice, nitrous oxide is available along with local anesthetics. We help relieve nervousness by administering nitrous oxide before an anxiety-producing procedure like a tooth extraction. Delivered through a mask that fits comfortably over your nose, nitrous oxide is safe, effective, and leaves no lasting side-effects.

Aftercare
Generally, we use local anesthesia for a tooth extraction and so you will be able to drive yourself home, if you choose. Bleeding is normal after the procedure as long as it doesn’t last much longer than a day. You can help alleviate some of your pain by using warm or cold compresses or by taking pain-relieving medication.
