Our Patients Often Ask:

  • A dental extraction is the process of removing a tooth from the mouth. It is performed for various reasons, including severe decay, infection, or crowding.

  • Tooth extraction may be necessary when a tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a filling or crown, or to prevent the spread of infection. It's also used as a preparatory step for orthodontic treatments that require more space in the mouth.

  • During a tooth extraction, the area around the tooth will be numbed with local anesthesia. If necessary, sedation options may be available. The dentist will then gently loosen the tooth and remove it from the socket.

  • After a tooth extraction, it's important to follow our instructions, which will likely include resting for the remainder of the day, avoiding sucking actions (like using a straw), not smoking, gently rinsing the mouth with salt water, and eating soft foods. Call 1-352-DENTIST if you have any questions or concerns.

  • While generally safe, dental extractions can present risks such as infection, prolonged bleeding, dry socket, or damage to surrounding teeth. Your surgical consent form will list many of the risks. Don’t hesitate to ask Dr. German or any of us at 352-Dentist any questions regarding risks. Proper care and following post-operative instructions minimize these risks.

  • Recovery time varies but generally, the initial healing phase takes about one to two weeks. Full gum healing can take several more weeks, during which the gum tissue will gradually regenerate and close the socket.

  • Several options are available for replacing an extracted tooth, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures. Each option has different benefits and suitability depending on your overall dental health and preferences.

  • If you believe you might need a tooth pulled, contact 352-Dentist for a free consultation. Drs. Julia and Igor German will provide a thorough examination, discuss your best treatment options, and ensure you receive the highest standard of care.
