Why Tooth Extraction May Be Necessary

Tooth extraction is recommended when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or causing other dental issues. Common reasons include:

• Severe tooth decay or infection that cannot be repaired

• Advanced gum disease affecting tooth stability

• Impacted or blocked teeth preventing proper alignment

• Wisdom teeth causing pain, crowding, or hygiene problems

• Orthodontic treatment to create space for proper teeth alignment

Prompt removal of problematic teeth can protect your oral health and prevent further complications.

What to Expect During Tooth Extraction

Our experienced dentists use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring a comfortable, pain-free procedure. While you may feel pressure, you won’t feel pain.

The extraction process typically involves:

• Numbing the area with a safe local anesthetic

• Carefully removing the tooth in a short, efficient procedure

• Applying gauze to control bleeding

• Providing post-operative instructions for optimal healing

Some mild bleeding or swelling is normal for the first day or two. Simple steps like biting on a damp tea bag help with clotting, and we provide guidance for pain management, diet, and oral hygiene after extraction.
