Gentle Tooth Extractions for Safe and Comfortable Care

At Christiana Family Dental Care, we provide simple tooth extractions with a focus on comfort, safety, and your long-term oral health. When a tooth can no longer be saved due to decay, damage, or infection, an extraction may be the healthiest option. Our experienced dental team ensures the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible. If you’re experiencing tooth pain or have been advised that a tooth needs removal, contact us today to schedule an evaluation at our dental office in Newark, DE.

What Is an Extraction?

An extraction is the removal of a tooth from the mouth. Teeth may need to be removed due to severe decay, damage, infection, or crowding. In some cases, extractions are also performed to make room for other dental treatments such as braces or dentures.

At Christiana Family Dental Care, we perform simple (non-surgical) extractions when the tooth is visible and can be safely removed without complex procedures.

Why Is It Done?

Tooth extractions may be recommended to:

• Relieve persistent tooth pain
• Prevent the spread of infection
• Remove severely damaged or decayed teeth
• Address overcrowding in preparation for orthodontic treatment
• Support restorative treatments like dentures

Removing a problematic tooth can help protect the health of your remaining teeth and gums.

What to Expect

Extractions are typically completed in one appointment. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

• The area is numbed using a topical anesthetic gel
• A local anesthetic is administered to ensure complete comfort
• The tooth is gently loosened and removed
• Post-procedure instructions are provided to support proper healing

We do not offer sedation and only perform simple extractions. Wisdom teeth or molars that require surgical removal are referred to a trusted specialist for advanced care.

After Your Procedure

Proper aftercare is essential for smooth healing. After your extraction:

• Bite gently on gauze to control bleeding and change it as instructed
• Avoid drinking through a straw, smoking, or vigorous rinsing for one week
• Stick to soft foods and avoid chewing on the extraction site
• Take prescribed medications or over-the-counter pain relief as directed
• Contact us if bleeding continues, swelling worsens, or severe pain develops

Following these instructions helps reduce the risk of complications and promotes faster recovery.
