Después de la extracción del diente

Después de la extracción del diente, que es importante para un coágulo de sangre para detener el sangrado y comenzar el proceso de curación. Bite on a gauze pad for 30-45 minutes immediately after the appointment. Si el sangrado o supuración persiste, colocar otro trozo de gasa y morder con firmeza para otro 30 minutos. You may have to do this several times to staunch the flow of blood.

Nuestro último Testimonio Paciente

I came to this office to get my wisdom teeth removed and let me just say Dr. Jacobs is amazing! This was my first time seeing him, and honestly I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Jacobs and his assistant Connie. I was very nervous when I came in and the Dr. and his assistant were the most caring professionals that I’ve ever visited. The wisdom tooth procedure itself went perfect! The day after I honestly had such minimal discomfort it was hard to believe I had teeth removed. One big thing I want to mention is the doctor went above and beyond to help me and even gave me his professional opinion for a procedure which had nothing to do with him. I previously saw a specialist who suggested I get a root canal for a abscessed tooth I had but he seemed unsure if the infection would return. And because my tooth didn’t have any decay or cracking I was very hesitant to get the procedure. When I came to Dr. Jacobs for my wisdom tooth removal I asked him his opinion on the tooth that needed a root canal, and he took the time to bring up my X-rays and show why he thinks I established the abscess in the first place and really made me feel like the root canal was the best option for me. Now mind you I was seeing Dr. Jacobs for a wisdom tooth which had nothing to do with the root canal I needed, and he took his time to explain everything to me even though it had nothing to do with him. This is the first review I have ever done for anything and I just wanted to bring attention to him because he’s honestly a very talented doctor and it was a great experience all around.
