I recently had a tooth extracted and now I’m experiencing some swelling and discomfort in the area. I’m worried it might be a minor infection. I want to know if a general dentist can handle this or if I need to see a specialist.

Yes, a general dentist at Ashford Dental Centre can usually manage minor infections after a tooth extraction. They can examine the site, prescribe antibiotics if needed and provide guidance on proper oral hygiene to promote healing. In certain cases, the socket may require irrigation or placement of an antiseptic, all of which can be done at Ashford Dental Centre.
