Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why might I need a tooth extraction?
Tooth extraction may be necessary for reasons such as severe decay, an impacted tooth, advanced gum disease, overcrowding, or preparation for orthodontic treatment. Our dentists will assess your situation and recommend the best course of action.
Is the tooth extraction procedure painful?
The procedure is typically not painful as local anesthesia is used to numb the area. You may feel some pressure or discomfort during the extraction, but pain is generally minimal. After the procedure, some soreness is normal and can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication.
How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?
Recovery time can vary depending on the complexity of the extraction, but most patients experience a noticeable improvement within a few days. Full healing of the extraction site may take a few weeks. Following post-operative care instructions will help ensure a smooth recovery.
What should I do after a tooth extraction?
After the extraction, you should follow our dentists’ post-operative care instructions, which may include taking prescribed medications, applying ice to reduce swelling, eating soft foods, and avoiding strenuous activities. Maintaining good oral hygiene is also important for proper healing.
Will I need a replacement for the extracted tooth?
Depending on the location of the extracted tooth and your overall dental health, our dentists may recommend options such as a dental implant, bridge, or partial denture to replace the missing tooth and restore function and appearance.
