Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Extractions
Why might I need a tooth extraction?
Extractions may be necessary due to severe tooth decay, infection, overcrowding, or in preparation for orthodontic treatment. Impacted wisdom teeth often require removal as well.
Is tooth extraction painful?
Modern dental techniques and anesthesia make extractions much more comfortable than in the past. You may feel pressure during the procedure, but not pain. Post-procedure discomfort is typically manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers.
What is the recovery time after a tooth extraction?
Recovery time varies but, generally, patients can resume normal activities within a few days. Complete healing of the gum can take a few weeks.
Can I eat normally after an extraction?
It's recommended to eat soft foods and avoid hot liquids and alcohol for the first 24 hours. Gradually reintroduce other foods as the extraction site heals.
When should I call the dentist after an extraction?
Contact your dentist if you experience severe pain, bleeding, signs of infection, or any other concerns following the extraction.
