Sometimes a tooth extraction procedure is necessary to treat severe oral health disease. If a tooth is badly decayed, has experienced trauma, an infection is present, or if there is crowding, tooth extraction may be diagnosed.
Before an extraction, the dentist will discuss all possible restorative options with you, such as: root canal therapy, dental crowns, and/or restorative fillings.
The age old saying "like pulling teeth" isn't as difficult for our team as it used to be. Modern advancements in dentistry make the tooth extraction process less invasive and painful than in the past.

Tips for a smooth extraction recovery:
Unfortunately, a tooth would require extraction if it has experienced severe trauma and cannot be saved. A tooth may need to be extracted if it has heavy decay and cannot be adequately restored. Lastly, a tooth or teeth may need to be extracted by a dentist when there is a lack of space in the mouth (wisdom teeth or during orthodontic treatment)
At the very least, we provide numbing gel and local anesthesia when a tooth is extracted. Our office does offer Oral Conscious Sedation which may help ease anxiety and general nervousness before a procedure. (Can this link to the Sedation page?) Feel free to contact us if you want to find out more about Oral Conscious Sedation.
