Protect Your Oral Health With Gentle Tooth Extractions
While we always try to save your natural tooth, sometimes a tooth cannot be saved if it’s causing oral health concerns. Your dentist may recommend extraction for severe decay, infection, extensive damage, or overcrowding. With local anesthesia and careful techniques, treatment focuses on your comfort while protecting your surrounding teeth and gums. Your dentist can also discuss options for replacing your missing tooth.

- Local Anesthesia: Your dentist numbs the area to help keep you comfortable.
- Tooth Removal: Your dentist gently loosens and removes the tooth or uses a surgical approach when necessary.

What Are the Next Steps?
- Control Bleeding: Bite gently on the provided gauze as directed to help a protective blood clot form.
- Protect the Extraction Site: Avoid smoking, straws, and vigorous rinsing during early healing to reduce the risk of dry socket.
