Painless Tooth Extractions Performed by Our Dentist in Fort Worth TX

At Hulen Dentistry & Implants, we understand that the need for a dental extraction can be a concern, but rest assured that our goal is to make the process as comfortable and painless as possible. Our dentist in Fort Worth TX prioritizes your comfort and well-being throughout the extraction procedure.

A dental extraction involves removing a tooth from your mouth and is typically considered when a tooth is damaged beyond practical repair. Several common reasons for needing an extraction include: 

• Severe tooth decay or infection: When a tooth is extensively decayed or infected, it may be too compromised to repair with traditional treatments, making extraction the most viable option.

• Advanced gum disease: Gum disease can damage the supporting tissues and bone structures around a tooth. Extracting a tooth in these cases helps prevent further damage and maintains the health of the surrounding areas.

• Orthodontic needs: In some cases, teeth need to be removed to create space for the proper alignment of other teeth during orthodontic treatment.

• Wisdom teeth: Often extracted either before or after they come in to prevent potential complications or crowding. 

What to Expect During Your Extraction

When you visit our dentist in Fort Worth TX, Dr. AL Kaissy, will first administer a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring that you experience minimal discomfort. While you may feel pressure during the procedure, you should not feel any pain. The extraction process is typically quick, often completed within a few minutes. 

Immediately following the extraction, some bleeding is normal. A piece of gauze will be placed over the extraction site to help control bleeding. It is common for the area to bleed minimally for the first 24 hours after the procedure, gradually tapering off. We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to manage the gauze and any additional post-procedure care.
