Are dental extractions painful?

Dental extractions are not painful because we completely numb the tooth and surrounding gums with a local anesthetic before the procedure begins. Once your treatment is complete, we will provide you with some aftercare instructions to manage any pain or discomfort that may arise once the anesthetic wears off. If you are anxious about your extraction, our office also offers relaxing dental sedation, which can relieve dental anxiety and make the entire visit feel much more calm and relaxed.

What’s the normal healing time for tooth extractions?

It depends on how many teeth are removed, and everyone’s recovery process looks a little different. We always advise patients to take the rest of the day off after having a tooth extracted, especially if dental sedation was used during the visit. Then, another several days of taking it easy and eating soft foods will be required to help the extraction site heal properly. Too much activity too soon can cause the blood clot to come loose from the socket, which can be painful and set the healing process back. After a few days, you can assess how you feel before returning to your normal routine.
