It\u2019s the perfect time of year for relaxing by\nthe pool, enjoying cool summertime treats, and\u2026having your tooth extracted? It\nmay not be the first item on your summer to-do list, but now is the best time\nto get this procedure done if you need it. Read on as your Park Slope dentist\nexplains why you should get your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedentalspany.com\/extractions.html\">tooth extraction<\/a> out\nof the way this summer and a few tips on how to enjoy the season as you recover.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summer is Tooth Extraction Season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having your tooth pulled is probably the last thing you want\nto do during your summer vacation. However, it\u2019s a popular time of year to get\nthis procedure done thanks to several important factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>The sooner your tooth is extracted, the\nbetter: <\/strong>If you need a tooth extraction, you shouldn\u2019t put it off any longer\nthan you have to. The longer an infected, damaged, or impacted tooth stays in\nyour mouth, the worse your issue will get.<\/li><li><strong>You\u2019ll have more availability and flexibility\nin your schedule: <\/strong>If you\u2019re enjoying more time off of school or work this\ntime of year, you\u2019ll have an easier time scheduling your procedure. You won\u2019t\nhave to worry about missing or catching up on school or work as you recover.<\/li><li><strong>Relaxing at home is better than recovering at\nschool or work: <\/strong>You\u2019ll recover from your tooth extraction fairly quickly,\nbut you will need a few days to rest. It\u2019s much more comfortable to relax at\nhome after your procedure than sitting in class or meetings. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips to Enjoy Summer While Recovering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to look forward to your tooth extraction, but\nyou don\u2019t have to dread it either. There are plenty of ways you can enjoy your\nsummer vacation while you recover from your procedure, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Indulge in soft summer snacks: <\/strong>The\nrecovery period after your tooth extraction is the perfect chance to indulge in\nsome soft, cold summer foods. Not only will they avoid causing the surgical\nsite irritation, but they\u2019ll numb the area as well. Now is the time to enjoy\nice cream, popsicles, milkshakes, smoothies, jello, and chilled applesauce. <\/li><li><strong>Enjoy your rest and relaxation: <\/strong>It\u2019s\nimportant that you take it easy for a while after your tooth extraction to\nensure the healing process goes smoothly. Thankfully, summer is an excellent\ntime of year to kick back and relax at the beach or pool, watch your favorite\nmovie, or pick up a good book. <\/li><li><strong>Stay cool by the pool: <\/strong>Staying cool and\nhydrated is important for the healing process. Stay comfortable in the heat by\nrelaxing in the shade, while floating in the pool, or indoors with air\nconditioning. Drinking plenty of water is another great way to cool off and\npromote a healthy recovery period. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, your dentist didn\u2019t recommend a tooth extraction without\ngreat cause. Protect that sunny smile and get your procedure over with this\nsummer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>At The Dental Spa of New York, Dr. Frank Sapienza does\neverything he can to keep natural teeth happy, healthy, and in place for a lifetime.\nHowever, since this isn\u2019t always possible, he offers quick and comfortable\ntooth extractions in addition to his wide variety of services.
