Dental Extractions – patient information to assist informed consent
This ADA patient education pamphlet provides treatment information on dental extractions. The topics discussed include: the dental extraction procedure, what to expect before treatment, and recovery after a tooth extraction. For information on the extraction of third molars, refer to the ADA patient information pamphlet “Wisdom Teeth and What to Do About Them”.
The dental extraction procedure is described for patients needing the removal of teeth for reasons such as periodontal disease, tooth decay or trauma. This leaflet can be a useful tool for patients considering having a tooth extracted as the possible complications of treatment are discussed in detail.
Mi-tec publishes 31 Australian Dental Association patient information brochures. The dental information is written in plain English to assist the patients’ understanding of health information and to help patients make informed decisions. The ADA patient information brochures are printed in five-colour on high-quality A4 sheets.
