We’ll Determine Whether You Need an Extraction

Treating problems like cavities will help you keep your teeth. Visiting us regularly for dental exams will help you avoid these common reasons to remove teeth:

  • Tooth decay that has penetrated deep inside a tooth and can’t be fixed with a root canal
  • Infection that has taken over a large portion of a tooth and even surrounding teeth and bone
  • Overcrowding in the mouth
  • Teeth that are cracked, broken, or so damaged that a dental crown cannot help

Common Questions About Tooth Extraction

Can you tell me how to stop tooth extraction bleeding?

You will need to use gauze to apply pressure after your surgery, changing to clean gauze if it becomes saturated. The bleeding should stop within 12 hours, though you may experience a bit of bleeding for a longer period. To help bleeding slow and encourage blood clotting, which is necessary for healing, you can apply a damp tea bag to the wound. Use black tea, which has tannins that promote healing.

Are tooth extractions painful?

Local anesthesia numbs your mouth and keeps the extraction process virtually pain-free. We use a system called The Wand® to administer anesthesia. It concentrates the anesthesia where you need it, so you are less likely to experience a numb face that feels weird for hours after your treatment.

Are tooth extractions during pregnancy safe?

We’ll avoid extractions during pregnancy, if possible. However, some extractions can’t be postponed, such as those that involve an infected tooth. If possible, we’ll remove your tooth during the second trimester. This will be more comfortable for you than the third trimester and avoids the use of X-rays early in your pregnancy.
