The most common reasons for tooth extractions include:

• Severe tooth decay or infection that makes it impossible or too costly to repair a tooth
• Advanced gum disease that results in a tooth needing to be pulled so it doesn’t affect the supporting tissues and bone structures of your mouth
• A tooth is blocking other teeth from coming in
• Orthodontic work that necessitates teeth being extracted to create room for the teeth that are being moved into place
• Wisdom teeth causing shifting or spacing issues

What to Expect

Your dentist will first administer anesthetic to numb the area and reduce discomfort. During the extraction, you will feel the pressure of the tooth being removed but will not feel any pain. Typically, the dentist is able to remove your tooth within a matter of minutes.

Immediately after the tooth extraction, a small amount of bleeding is normal, and a patch of gauze will be placed in the affected area. The area may bleed minimally for the next 24 hours or so and taper off after that. Follow your dentist's instructions on how often to change the gauze, and what other post-procedure steps to follow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recovery time after a tooth extraction?

The recovery time for a tooth extraction varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and individual healing rates. Most people experience mild discomfort and swelling for a few days. It's important to follow your dentist's post-operative instructions to minimize discomfort and promote healing.

How can I manage pain after a tooth extraction?

Your dentist may prescribe pain medication to help manage any discomfort. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can also be effective. Applying ice packs to the affected area can help reduce swelling. Avoid rinsing your mouth vigorously and refrain from using straws to prevent dislodging the blood clot.
