Does tooth extraction hurt?

We offer anxiety-free tooth extraction in Elk Grove, CA, relying on a gentle touch and powerful, long-lasting anesthesia.

After extraction, you may experience tenderness for a few days, but over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen are usually sufficient to ease discomfort.

If you’re undergoing more complex extractions like wisdom tooth removal, your dentist will provide more personalized or specific aftercare instructions to promote fast healing and less discomfort.

Reasons You May Need Tooth Extraction in Elk Grove, CA

Oral Injury or Tooth Damage

Your dentist can often save a weak or treated tooth with a dental crown. However, you may need tooth extraction and replacement if the damage is too severe.

Before Other Treatments

You may need extractions if you’ve decided to proceed with complete dentures or undergoing orthodontics.

Wisdom Teeth

If your wisdom teeth—third molars at the back of the mouth—don’t erupt properly or don’t have enough space on the gum, we may need to extract them to prevent discomfort and potential infection.
