About tooth extractions
An extraction may be recommended when a tooth cannot be predictably maintained or for another dental reason. Your dentist will explain why removal is being considered.
Review your options
Your dentist examines the tooth and reviews relevant imaging and medical history. Ask about alternatives and the reason for the recommendation.
Prepare for your appointment
Tell the office about all medications and medical conditions. Your dentist will discuss the procedure, comfort measures, and instructions specific to your care.
Plan recovery and replacement
Follow the instructions provided after your procedure. If replacement is appropriate, discuss an implant, bridge, or denture and the timing of future treatment.
