Reasons Why Tooth Extractions Are Necessary

As we mentioned above, removing your tooth is never our first option. There are some cases where it’s our only one, however. For example, we will suggest an extraction if you face one (or more) of the following:
- A spreading tooth infection
- Dental overcrowding
- Severe tooth damage or decay
- A wedged or stuck “baby” tooth
The Process of Removing a Tooth

There are two types of tooth extractions. The first is a simple extraction, which is when the tooth is gently rocked loose until it’s ready to be removed. The second is a surgical extraction, which requires a small incision to be made so the tooth in question can be assessed and removed piece by piece. Rest assured, your mouth will be numbed thoroughly beforehand. So, you won’t feel any pain or discomfort during the treatment process.
Tooth Extraction Aftercare

Following your tooth extraction, there are a few things you need to do (as well as a few things you should avoid) to ensure you don’t experience any obstacles during the healing period, like a dry socket. For example, we recommend:
- Changing the gauze pads as needed
- Taking prescribed or OTC pain medication as directed
- Brushing and flossing carefully around the extraction site
- Not using a straw, spitting, or smoking
- Eating extremely soft foods, like plain yogurt and applesauce
- Drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated
If you notice anything abnormal in the days following your appointment, like that your symptoms seem to be getting worse instead of better, then call us ASAP.
