How it's performed: Tooth extraction. A tooth extraction is a dental procedure during which your tooth is completely removed from its socket. * First, local anesthesia is given to numb your affected tooth and surrounding gum tissue. * Using specialized dental instruments, your dentist will gently loosen your tooth and carefully lift it from its socket. * Sometimes, your dentist might need to make incisions in your gums to access your tooth — especially if your tooth is badly decayed or has broke

Tomorrow, Zoey goes in for a dental and extraction. Please join me in praying for my girl to have a smooth procedure and swift and easy recovery. I am so blessed to have an amazing veterinarian team that I trust. I know Zoey is in good hands. #seniordogs #lifewithdogs #adogslife #blessed #prayerrequest #lovemymutts | Raw Feeder Life - keepthetailwagging.com
