What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction

We make your extraction experience calm and easy using modern methods and sedation tactics. Here’s how it works:

1. Consultation & Preparation

  • We perform a detailed inspection and take X-rays to evaluate your tooth.

  • Your dentist will go over your choices, which include local anesthesia, sedation, or nitrous oxide to keep you comfortable.

  • We’ll share pre-extraction advice, such as medications to avoid before the procedure.

2. The Extraction Procedure

  • For simple extractions, we gently loosen and take out the tooth.

  • For surgical extractions (like impacted wisdom teeth), a minor incision may be made.

  • The area will be carefully cleaned, and absorbable stitches may be used if necessary.

3. Post-Extraction Care & Recovery

After your extraction, we’ll outline comprehensive aftercare tips, including:
Managing Pain & Swelling – Over-the-counter pain meds & cold packs can assist.
Eating Soft Foods – Stick to things like soups, yogurt, and smoothies for the initial days.
Avoiding Straws & Smoking – To prevent dry socket, a painful condition post-extraction.
Proper Oral Hygiene – Rinse with warm salt water after 24 hours to boost healing.

Recovery time can be from a few days to a week, depending on how complicated the extraction was.

Braces Preparation – Extractions may be needed to align teeth.
Broken Teeth – A tooth that can’t be fixed often requires removal.

FAQ's About Tooth Extractions

What foods can I eat after a tooth extraction?

Stick to soft foods like mashed potatoes, smoothies, and scrambled eggs. Avoid crunchy or spicy foods for a few days.

Does tooth extraction hurt?

No! We numb the area to keep you comfortable. You might feel some soreness afterward, but it can be eased with medication.

Can I drive home after the procedure?

If you receive local anesthesia, you can drive home. However, if you had sedation or general anesthesia, arrange for someone to drive you.

How long does it take to heal?

Most people recover within 3 to 7 days. For surgical extractions, healing may take a little longer.
