Tooth Extractions In Houston, TX
When you experience severe tooth pain, it can be a sign of tooth decay or an underlying infection. At Pure Dental Center, our first approach is to save your tooth. However, if the tooth is too damaged or has an infection, removing it might be a better option. Our senior dentist, Dr. Rahgozar, uses the latest tools to provide tooth extractions in Houston, TX. Once you recover, we will discuss replacement options to restore your smile.

When Do You Need A Tooth Extraction?
There are multiple reasons why our Houston dentists may recommend tooth removal, but some of the common indications include:
- Severe tooth decay: In cases where one or more teeth have such extensive decay that they cannot be repaired, their removal is necessary to save the remaining teeth.
- Impacted tooth: Wisdom teeth often erupt partially or remain impacted in the jawbone, requiring removal.
- Loose or mobile teeth: If your teeth have become loose due to a dental injury or periodontal disease, they may not remain functional and necessitate extraction.
- Overcrowded teeth: Dental extraction can also be suggested as a part of orthodontic treatment to make more room for straightening teeth.
Process of Tooth Extractions at Pure Dental Center
At the start of the procedure, our dentist will carefully examine the damaged tooth and its surrounding area. We will also take dental X-rays to visualize further details. To make the treatment process comfortable and pain-free, our dental expert will inject a local anesthetic near the tooth to numb the area.
Next, we will use sterilized dental tools to loosen the tooth within its sockets before extracting it. If a tooth is broken below the gum line or impacted, we will use surgical techniques to remove it, ensuring minimal damage to the surrounding healthy tissues.
We will place a gauze and ask you to bite on it for some time to control bleeding. Our dentist may also prescribe medications to manage pain and discomfort.
Recovery After Extraction
Soon after a tooth extraction, our Houston dental team will provide detailed guidelines to help you achieve proper recovery. The time needed for healing can vary depending on the type of extraction, but typically, you can return to your routine activities within 10 to 14 days. To promote better healing, avoid chewing hard foods, drinking hot beverages, smoking, and engaging in excessive physical activity during this period.
