The Tooth Extraction Process

For a non-surgical extraction, we numb the area around the tooth to ensure that the patient is comfortable. During the extraction procedure itself, we grip the tooth with forceps and rock it back and forth in order to sever the ligaments that connect it to the bone. After the tooth is out, we use gauze to control any bleeding. Over the counter pain relievers should be enough to soothe any post-procedure discomfort. Most patients are able to resume their normal routine after just a few days of recovery time.
