Do I Need A Tooth Extraction?

Your dentist will need to examine your damaged tooth and mouth to help you to decide of an extraction is the best treatment option. Generally, it is only the preferred option when you are suffering from a tooth that has been severely damaged from injury or decay. It is always preferable to consider other methods of treatment first.

Other cases when an extraction may be the best option is when one of your teeth is blocking another from growing through properly.

How Do Tooth Extractions Work?

Tooth extraction can be completed with either a simple or surgical extraction. The method that is used depends on the location of the tooth and the level of damage. Both methods are safe and routinely performed by the experienced team at Woo Wang Dental.

A simple extraction will be performed for teeth that are visible in the mouth. After a local anesthetic has been administered, the tooth will be loosened before being extracted with forceps. If the tooth is not visible, a surgical extraction will be required. After you have been given a local anesthetic, an incision will be made into the gum to remove the problematic tooth.

Do Tooth Extractions Work?

When you have a tooth removed, the tooth is being completely removed from the socket in your jawbone. There is a small amount of pain associated with this procedure but your dentist will do all that they can to manage this and keep you comfortable throughout the entire procedure.

You will be given a local anesthetic around the tooth that is to be removed to keep the area numb during the procedure. You can expect to feel pressure as the tooth is being removed. If you experience any discomfort or pain at any point during your extraction, please alert your dentist. We will do what we can to make your procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
