Are Tooth Extractions Painful?

Our two top priorities at Aldie Dental Care are to help you keep your smile healthy and maintain your natural teeth. In some cases, we may be unable to do so unless we extract a problematic tooth.

Dental extractions assist in removing the source of dental pain and preventing infection from spreading to neighboring healthy teeth. Dr. Rivera may find that removing a tooth is the most beneficial thing she can do for your smile as a whole.

Common Reasons for Tooth Extraction

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth have been linked to a host of oral health issues. Whether it's crowded teeth or cysts, removing difficult-to-reach wisdom teeth is usually preferable to constantly re-treating them.

Emergency Extractions

If you're in excruciating pain or have a broken tooth, an emergency extraction may be the quickest way to relieve your discomfort. When other options, such as numbing and antibiotics, do not provide enough relief to plan for a long-term solution, tooth extraction may be the best option.

Periodontal Disease

Severe gum disease dissolves the supporting bone structure around teeth. In some cases, the teeth usually become mobile or fall out on their own. Our Aldie dentist may recommend extracting the most infected teeth to prevent the spread of infection in your bone.
