What Are Tooth Extractions?
Tooth extractions involve the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. This procedure is typically performed when a tooth is damaged beyond repair or poses a risk to your overall dental health. At Flossophy Dental, we ensure that extractions are carried out safely and comfortably, minimizing any discomfort or anxiety you might have.
Reasons for Tooth Extraction
There are several reasons why you might need a tooth extraction, including:
- Impacted Teeth: When a tooth, especially wisdom teeth, fails to emerge properly and remains trapped in the jawbone or gums.
- Severe Decay: When a tooth is too decayed to be saved with a filling, crown, or root canal.
- Infection: If an infection in a tooth cannot be treated with antibiotics or a root canal, extraction may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection.
- Overcrowding: To make space for orthodontic treatment, sometimes teeth need to be removed to align your smile properly.
- Gum Disease: Advanced periodontal disease can loosen teeth to the point where extraction is required.
What Is the Extraction Process?
Here’s what you can expect during a tooth extraction at Flossophy Dental:
- Consultation: Dr. Pandya will assess your dental health, take X-rays if needed, and discuss the best course of action.
- Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the tooth. In some cases, sedation may be offered for added relaxation.
- Extraction: Using specialized instruments, Dr. Pandya will gently remove the tooth. For impacted teeth, a small incision might be made to access the tooth.
- Post-Extraction Care: After the extraction, you’ll receive instructions on how to care for the extraction site to promote healing and prevent complications like infection or swelling.
Tooth Extraction FAQ
When you come to Flossophy Dental for an orthodontic screening, here’s what you can expect:
Is tooth extraction painful?
The extraction itself is not painful due to the use of anesthesia. You may experience some discomfort afterward, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication and proper care.
How long is the recovery time?
Recovery time varies, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few days. Full healing of the extraction site typically takes a few weeks.
What should I eat after a tooth extraction?
Stick to soft foods and avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods that might irritate the extraction site. Gradually reintroduce solid foods as you heal.

Leaving an impacted tooth untreated can lead to pain, infection, damage to adjacent teeth, and other dental issues.
