Salem Family DentalTooth Extraction

Tooth extraction removes a damaged, infected, or problematic tooth to relieve pain, stop infection spread, and safeguard your oral health.

We always try to save natural teeth first, but tooth extractions are sometimes the best option for severe decay, advanced gum disease, deep cracks, trauma, abscesses, overcrowding, or impacted teeth like wisdom teeth.

The procedure is comfortable with effective local anesthesia—most patients feel only pressure, not pain. It’s typically quick, followed by simple aftercare: bite on gauze, rest, manage mild swelling with ice and over-the-counter pain relief, and follow instructions like avoiding straws or smoking.

Tooth extractions often bring fast relief and open the door to restorative options such as implants, bridges, or dentures to maintain your smile. If you’re experiencing persistent pain, swelling, loose teeth, or other concerns, contact Salem Family Dental today for gentle, expert care—we’re here to help you feel better quickly with tooth extractions!
