We’ve all had a toothache at some point or another. While you should always consult your Henderson dentist, it’s not always a serious problem. Often, the issue can be fixed with a filling or a root canal.
However, many people have found themselves in a situation where the tooth is not salvageable, and the only solution is for Dr. Stephen Hahn to perform an extraction, or remove the tooth. Today, Dr. Stephen Hahn at Stephen P. Hahn DDS would like to talk about what you can expect from extraction and why it’s not something to fear!

Many folks refer to something difficult by saying it was, “like pulling teeth.” However, we will be the first ones to tell you that the technology and techniques of modern dentistry have made the process of extracting a tooth fairly simple and with minimal discomfort. If you take it easy after the procedure and follow the guidelines, you’ll be back to normal in just a few days.
