Extractions

Comfortable Dental Extractions at Paroo Dental

At Paroo Dental, our primary goal is to help you preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. However, in some cases, a dental extraction may be necessary to protect your oral health and prevent further complications. Our team is dedicated to providing gentle, compassionate care and ensuring your comfort throughout the process.

What is a Dental Extraction?

A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While it may sound intimidating, extractions are common and often essential to maintaining your overall oral health. Whether it’s a damaged, infected, or impacted tooth, extractions are performed with precision and care to minimize discomfort and promote healing.

Why You Might Need a Dental Extraction

Dental extractions may be necessary for several reasons, including:

​

• Severe Decay or Damage: When a tooth is too damaged to be restored with a filling, crown, or root canal, removal may be the best option.

​

• Infection: A tooth that is infected and cannot be saved may need to be removed to prevent the infection from spreading.

​

• Overcrowding: Extracting teeth may be recommended before orthodontic treatment to create space and properly align your smile.

​

• Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that are trapped under the gumline or causing pain may need to be extracted.

​

• Periodontal Disease: Advanced gum disease can loosen teeth, making extraction the best choice to protect surrounding teeth and gums.

What to Expect During a Dental Extraction at Paroo Dental

We understand that the thought of a dental extraction can be daunting, but our team is here to ensure the process is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

​

• Before the Procedure:

  • Dr. Paroo will perform a thorough examination and take X-rays to assess the condition of the tooth and surrounding structures.

  • We’ll discuss your treatment plan, answer any questions, and ensure you feel informed and at ease.

​

• During the Procedure:

  • The area around your tooth will be numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure you feel no pain during the extraction.

  • For simple extractions, the tooth is gently loosened and removed. For more complex cases, such as impacted teeth, a surgical approach may be necessary.

  • Throughout the procedure, our team will prioritize your comfort and keep you informed every step of the way.

​

• After the Procedure:

  • You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimize discomfort.

  • Over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribed medication may be recommended to manage any soreness.

  • Most patients heal within a few days, and we’re always available to address any concerns during your recovery.
