Questions about oral surgery
Extraction may be recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, infected, fractured below the gumline, impacted, loose from advanced gum disease, or cannot be restored predictably.
Follow the dentist's instructions, ask about food or medication restrictions, arrange transportation if sedation is planned, and prepare soft foods and recovery supplies at home.
Healing varies by procedure and patient. Many people feel better within days, but gum and bone healing can continue for weeks, especially after complex extractions.
