Why You Might Need a Tooth Extraction

We may recommend that a tooth be removed if:

• It has a large cavity that is too big to be repaired with a filling or crown.
• The enamel is so cracked or broken that it cannot be put back together.
• Gum disease has completely weakened the bone needed to hold a tooth in place.
• A room needs to be created for a denture or orthodontic treatment.
• A lingering baby tooth is preventing an adult tooth from coming in properly.

Tooth Extraction: Procedure & What to Expect

Tooth extraction is a common dental treatment that removes a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. The procedure includes injecting local anesthesia to numb the area, loosening the tooth with specialized devices such as an elevator, and then removing it with forceps. For more complicated extractions, surgical removal may be required, which involves gum and bone incisions and the possibility of shattering the tooth into fragments.

Following the extraction, the bleeding is stopped using a gauze pad, and stitches may be used to assist the gum edges in recovering. You can expect some pain, swelling, and bleeding following the procedure, which can be controlled with pain medication, rest, soft foods, and applying ice to the jaw.
