Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction can protect your oral health by removing severely damaged or problematic teeth. This procedure helps prevent infection, relieve discomfort, and create space for restorative or orthodontic treatments, supporting long-term dental function and overall well-being.
Tooth Extractions in Cincinnati, Batavia, & Lebanon, OH
Tooth extraction is a standard dental procedure used to remove a tooth that is damaged, decayed, infected, or causing alignment issues. An extraction may be recommended when a tooth cannot be restored with a filling, crown, or root canal, or when crowding prevents proper orthodontic treatment. In some cases, removing a problematic tooth helps prevent the spread of infection, alleviate persistent pain, and maintain the health of surrounding teeth and gums.
By addressing these concerns early, tooth extraction can restore comfort, support long-term oral health, and create the foundation for successful future treatments such as implants, bridges, or orthodontics.

How to prevent dry socket after tooth extraction
To promote proper healing and reduce the risk of dry socket, follow all post-operative instructions closely. Avoid smoking, drinking through a straw, or vigorous rinsing for the first 24 to 48 hours, as these actions can dislodge the protective blood clot. Stick to soft foods, keep the area clean as directed, and take prescribed medications as recommended. If you experience increasing pain or unusual symptoms, contact our office promptly for evaluation and care.

When and why do wisdom teeth need removed?
Wisdom teeth often emerge during the late teens or early twenties, and removal is recommended when they pose risks to your oral health. These third molars may become impacted, grow at improper angles, or crowd existing teeth, leading to pain, infection, or decay. Timely extraction helps prevent complications such as cysts, gum disease, and damage to adjacent teeth. Our team carefully evaluates each case to ensure the safest and most effective treatment for long-term dental wellness.

What causes the need for tooth extraction?
