What is a tooth extraction?

A tooth extraction is a procedure in which a dentist or oral surgeon removes one or more teeth from the dental socket in the jawbone. Extractions are usually done when impacted, decayed, or crowded teeth need to be removed.

Why would I need an extraction?

An extraction may be necessary for several reasons, such as removing a tooth that has been significantly damaged or decayed and cannot be saved with a root canal, or if overcrowding of teeth needs to be corrected before other orthodontic treatments can be done.

Are extractions painful?

No, you will usually receive an anesthetic to numb the area before the procedure so you won't experience any pain during the extraction process. Depending on the type and location of your tooth, you may be given local anesthesia or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout.

How long does it take to recover after getting a tooth extracted?

Most people are able to return to their normal activities within 1 - 2 days after an extraction procedure. However, it can take up to 7 - 10 days for complete healing and recovery after an extraction is completed.

When should I seek medical attention after getting an extraction?

It's important to contact your dentist if you experience intense pain, uncontrolled bleeding, swelling that lasts for more than two days or if you develop signs of infection such as fever, chills or swollen glands in your neck or jaw area following a dental extraction procedure

Reasons for a Tooth Extraction

There are several reasons why a tooth may need to be extracted. Some common reasons include:

Crowding of the teeth, which can occur when there is not enough room in the jaw for all of the teeth to fit properly
Impacted teeth, which are teeth that have not erupted properly and are stuck in the jaw bone
Decayed or damaged teeth that cannot be repaired
Gum disease, which can cause the bone surrounding the teeth to deteriorate and the teeth to become loose

The Tooth Extraction Consultation

Before the extraction, our dentists will conduct a thorough examination of the affected tooth and take any necessary X-rays to ensure that the extraction is the best course of treatment. They will also discuss any potential risks or complications with the patient and provide instructions for pre- and post-operative care.

The Extraction of a Tooth Procedure

During the extraction, the patient will be given a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth. In some cases, patients may also be given IV sedation or general anesthesia to help them relax and feel more comfortable. The dentist will then use special instruments to loosen the tooth from its socket and remove it.

Post Operative Care for a Tooth Extraction

After the extraction, the patient will be given instructions on how to care for the extraction site, including how to control bleeding and manage pain. We will also provide you with a follow-up appointment to ensure that the extraction site is healing properly.
