After Extraction
If I decide to pull a tooth are there consequences to doing that I should know about?
If you have a tooth extracted make sure you rinse your mouth out with salt water twice daily for the first week. After that it is usually healed over and you have no more pain if that is why you had it done. If you get a tooth extracted you can still eat and drink what you want. Just remember sometimes a chip or other brittle food can stab your gum where the tooth used to be. It hurts a little but it is nothing to worry about.
I am missing over half my teeth and I still get along with little or no problem.
