Extraction

What is an Extraction?

An extraction is the complete removal of a tooth from its place within the upper or lower jawbone. Extractions can be simple or surgical.

Why are Extractions Necessary?

Extractions are necessary to prevent the spread of disease from an infected tooth that we cannot repair or save. Because dental infections carry the risk of spreading into vital areas like the airway, bloodstream, and brain, extractions can save your life. As dentists, we always prioritize saving every tooth that we possibly can. 

What Should I Expect After an Extraction?

You should expect some pain after tooth extraction. Most postoperative pain from extraction is easily manageable with medications and rest. The pain should slowly decrease with each day. If you experience any increasing pain or swelling, come back to see us as soon as possible.
