Why Should I Get Tooth Extractions?
Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to maintain optimal oral health. If a tooth is severely decayed or damaged beyond repair, removing it can prevent infection and alleviate pain. Additionally, extractions can be crucial for orthodontic treatment, creating space for teeth alignment.
Wisdom teeth, often impacted, may also need extraction to prevent crowding or misalignment of other teeth. By opting for a tooth extraction, you can avoid more severe dental issues in the future, ensuring a healthier mouth and a brighter smile. At Sage Family Dentistry, your comfort and care are our top priorities during this essential procedure.

The Benefits Of Tooth Extractions
Pain Relief
Removing a problematic tooth can provide immediate relief from pain and discomfort, improving your quality of life. By addressing the root cause of your pain, you can enjoy eating, talking, and smiling without the constant ache of a troublesome tooth.
Preventing Infection
Removing a severely decayed or infected tooth can prevent the spread of infection to other teeth and gums. This proactive step may save you from more extensive and costly dental treatments in the future, safeguarding your overall oral health.
Improved Oral Health
Tooth extractions can contribute to better oral hygiene by reducing overcrowding and allowing for easier cleaning of remaining teeth. This can lead to healthier gums and a reduced risk of cavities, ensuring a long-lasting, healthy smile.
The Tooth Extraction Treatment Process
Consultation and Examination
Consultation and Examination
The first step in the tooth extraction process is a thorough consultation and examination with Dr. Sam Sage. During this visit, he will assess your oral health, take necessary X-rays, and discuss your dental history.
This comprehensive evaluation helps determine whether a tooth extraction is the best course of action for your specific situation. Dr. Sage will explain the procedure in detail, address any concerns you may have, and ensure you feel comfortable and informed about the upcoming treatment.
Anesthesia and Preparation
Anesthesia and Preparation
Once the decision for extraction is made, the next step involves preparing you for the procedure. Dr. Sage will administer a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring you experience minimal discomfort during the extraction. For more complex cases, sedation options may be available to help you relax.
The team at Sage Family Dentistry prioritizes your comfort, taking every measure to ensure a pain-free experience. They will also provide you with pre-procedure instructions to follow, ensuring a smooth and successful extraction process.
Extraction and Aftercare
