What is a tooth extraction?
A tooth extraction may be necessary in situations where a tooth is too damaged to be repaired, severely impacted or causing significant infection or pain.

No, tooth extractions are not painful. Dentists use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. For more complex cases, sedation may be used to help you relax
After a tooth extraction, it is recommended to eat soft foods that require minimal chewing. Examples include yogurt, soups, and oatmeal. Avoid hard or crunchy foods that could irritate the extraction site
Recovery time varies based on the complexity of the extraction and individual healing rates. Generally, it takes about 7-10 days for initial healing. Full recovery can take longer if the extraction was surgical
Post-extraction care includes avoiding strenuous activities, using ice packs to reduce swelling, and taking prescribed pain medication. Do not use straws or rinse your mouth vigorously for the first 24 hours
