X-ray and Medical History
So you’re going to undergo a tooth extraction. In order to fully prepare for that, your orthodontist will need to do two things.
First, X-ray the tooth in question. This will allow your orthodontist to see the internal aspects of your tooth and the others around it. Lastly, take your medical history. The one attending to you will need to know how your tooth got that way.
The info obtained from the X-ray output will help your orthodontist in figuring out what to do with your tooth: will he or she extract it or not. Regarding the Medical History, you will need to be open with him or her on the medications you take, and possible allergies you have. One of the possible drugs that will affect your tooth extraction is aspirin, as it affects blood clotting.
