A tooth becomes impacted when there is not enough room to accommodate the space in the dental arch and growth becomes impossible. After surgery to remove an impacted tooth, mild discomfort and some swelling is expected. This is part of the process and should not alarm you. You may use cold compresses to alleviate the swelling. In addition, your doctor will prescribe pain medication, which should be taken as directed. Patients are also advised to favor the extraction area and modify their diet for a few days to allow for healing.

Once I visited Dr. Rubinstein, he immediately began taking care of my dental problem. I never had to look for another dentist. He is a genius and he takes care of all my family's dental issues! I Highly recommend him!

Both the doctor and staff helped me with my fear of the dentist in a life changing way. I haven’t been to the dentist in decades because of this phobia and I am so thankful I ended up in his office. I am on the fast track to proper dental health and it’s all because of this office.
