What Are Tooth Extractions?

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It’s a common practice for resolving various dental issues and is performed with the utmost care at our clinic.

Reasons for Tooth Extraction

There are several reasons why a tooth may need to be extracted:

  • Severe Decay: When a tooth is too damaged to be repaired we will remove it to help relieve pain and to prevent the decay from spreading.
  • Impaction: This is commonly seen with wisdom teeth that do not have enough room to emerge.
  • Orthodontic Treatment: Sometimes one tooth will need to be extracted to create space for other teeth to move into place.
  • Risk of Infection: Especially important for patients with a compromised immune system.

What Is the Extraction Process Like?

At Tru-Value Dental, we ensure the extraction process is smooth and comfortable:

  1. Initial Consultation: Dr. Nguyen will assess your tooth and explain the procedure.
  2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area and ensure a pain-free experience.
  3. Extraction: The tooth is gently removed with specialized tools.
  4. Aftercare Instructions: We provide detailed guidance to prevent infection and manage pain and swelling.

Tooth Extraction FAQ

Will the procedure hurt?

Thanks to local anesthesia, the extraction process itself is typically pain-free. We will provide aftercare instructions to help with managing any pain through the recovery process.

Recovery time varies, but most patients resume normal activities within a few days.

Soft foods are recommended immediately following the procedure.

Dry socket is when the blood clot at the extraction site gets dislodged or doesn’t fully form, leaving the bones and nerves exposed. This can be very painful, but it only happens in about 2–5% of patients after tooth extraction.

Follow our aftercare instructions closely to avoid complications like dry socket. If you think you might have dry socket at your extraction site, give us a call right away and we’ll provide treatment to relieve pain and help you through the healing process.
