Tooth Extraction FAQs

1) Does an extraction hurt?
Most patients feel pressure, not pain. We numb thoroughly, confirm you're numb before starting, and can pause anytime.
2) How long does an extraction appointment take?
Many visits are 30–60 minutes including numbing and aftercare review. More complex cases can take longer.
3) What is the difference between a simple and surgical extraction?
A simple extraction is for a tooth that's visible and can be removed directly. A surgical extraction may be needed if the tooth is broken, below the gumline, or has more complex roots.
4) Can I get a same-day extraction?
Sometimes. We first confirm the diagnosis and safety. Same-day extraction may be possible depending on swelling, infection level, and the schedule. If you're coming from the Xenia area, call ahead and we'll do our best to fit you in.
5) If I have an infection, do I need antibiotics first?
Not always. In many cases, treating the source is the fastest path to relief. If antibiotics are appropriate, we'll explain why and what timing is safest.
6) How much bleeding is normal after an extraction?
Light oozing can be normal at first. If bleeding is heavy or won't slow down, call us and we'll guide you through it.
7) How do I avoid dry socket?
For the first 24 hours, avoid smoking/vaping, avoid straws, and avoid forceful rinsing or spitting. Follow your aftercare steps closely.
8) What can I eat after an extraction?
Start with soft foods: yogurt, eggs, mashed foods, pasta, soup (not too hot), smoothies (no straw). Avoid crunchy, spicy, or seedy foods early on.
9) When can I return to work or exercise?
Many people return to normal activity the next day, but heavy exercise can increase bleeding early on. We'll advise based on your extraction.
10) Can I drive myself home?
If you only have local numbing, most patients can drive themselves. If you choose additional comfort options, you may need a driver.
11) Do I need to replace the tooth afterward?
Often, yes—especially for back teeth. Replacement options may include a bridge, partial, or implant. We'll review what fits your goals and timeline.
12) If I want an implant later, is there anything to plan now?
Sometimes. Planning at the extraction visit can help protect the area for a future implant—such as bone grafting. We're near Xenia, OH and will take the time to go over every option with you before anything is decided.
