FAQs
Is tooth extraction painful?
Most extractions are done under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure. Some mild discomfort afterward is normal, but we’ll guide you on managing it effectively.
How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?
Typically, initial healing takes about one to two weeks. However, the exact time varies depending on the tooth removed and your individual healing process.
Can all teeth be extracted easily?
While many teeth can be removed simply, some, like impacted wisdom teeth, may require more advanced techniques. Our team evaluates each case to choose the safest approach.
What are the risks of not removing a problematic tooth?
Leaving a damaged or infected tooth untreated can lead to pain, infection, and damage to neighboring teeth. Extraction helps prevent these complications and protects your overall oral health.
How should I care for my mouth after extraction?
We recommend following the aftercare instructions we provide, which usually include avoiding strenuous activity, eating soft foods, and keeping the extraction site clean to promote healing.
