When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?

You may need a tooth extraction if you have:

A deep infection or abscess: When an infection reaches the tooth pulp and cannot be treated with a root canal, extraction is needed to prevent the spread.

Impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth: Teeth that don’t fully emerge and cause pain, infection, or damage may need removal.

Overcrowded or misaligned teeth: Extractions can create space for proper alignment during orthodontic treatment.

Tooth injury due to trauma: If a tooth is severely damaged and cannot be restored, it may need to be removed.

Advanced gum disease: Gum disease that leads to tooth instability may require extraction to protect overall oral health.

What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction

We will review your medical history, examine the tooth and gums, take X-rays for accurate diagnosis, and administer local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Our goal is to fully understand your condition and provide a treatment plan that prioritizes your health and well-being.

Before the Procedure

We will review your medical history, examine the tooth and gums, take X-rays for accurate diagnosis, and administer local anesthesia to ensure your comfort.

After the Procedure

The socket is cleaned, and stitches may be placed if any necessary. Gauze is used to control bleeding. Post-procedure care includes cold compresses for swelling, pain relief, and lifestyle adjustments like eating soft foods, avoiding straws, and not smoking.

Aftercare for Tooth Extractions

Post-procedure care includes using a cold compress to reduce swelling, taking prescribed medications to manage pain, and making lifestyle adjustments such as eating soft foods, avoiding straws, and refraining from smoking.
