What is a Tooth Extraction and Why Do You Need One?

A dental extraction is the process of removing a permanent tooth from the socket in the jaw bone. An extraction is usually performed when a tooth can no longer be saved by root canal therapy. There are several reasons why a tooth may need to be extracted, including:

  • Severe tooth decay
  • Infection
  • Injury
  • Broken tooth
  • Crowding
  • Impacted wisdom teeth

In addition, tooth extractions are often performed before a dental implant is placed. Dental implants can fill in the gaps of the missing teeth after extractions.

Types of Tooth Extractions

There are two main types of tooth extractions: simple and surgical.



  • A simple extraction is performed when the tooth is clearly visible and easily accessible in the mouth. The dentist will first numb the area around the tooth, then use special instruments to gently loosen it before removal. Because this procedure is straightforward, the recovery time is usually only a few days.


  • A surgical extraction, on the other hand, is necessary when the tooth cannot be easily reached. This may occur if the tooth has not fully erupted or if it has broken off at the gum line. As a more complex oral surgery, it often involves incisions in the gums and the use of advanced tools. Patients can expect a longer recovery period—often up to a week.

Preparation for Dental Extractions

Before the tooth extraction process, you will have a consultation with your dentist to discuss the reason for the extraction and any concerns you may have. X-rays and examinations will be done to determine the best course of action.



You will be given instructions for before and after the procedure, such as avoiding certain medications or food.

Recovery and Aftercare

After the tooth removal procedure, you will experience some pain and swelling. Your dentist will provide you with pain management options and instructions for managing bleeding and swelling.



It's crucial to follow a soft diet and good oral hygiene practices to promote healing. You will also have follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
