What is Extraction Surgery?
There are many reasons why a tooth may need to be pulled, such as:
- Loose or damaged teeth as a result of gum disease
Overcrowded teeth - Teeth that are severely abscessed and cannot be effectively treated with any other method
- Preventing the spread of infection between teeth
Wisdom Tooth Extraction Near You!
Our doctors also perform wisdom tooth extractions, which becomes necessary when the third set of molars in the back of your mouth cause pain in the jaw, gums and surrounding teeth.
Wisdom teeth most commonly develop between the ages of 17 and 25 and are often removed for several reasons:
- The jaw is not big enough for an extra set of molars
- The teeth grow in at the wrong angle
- They can become impacted in the jawbone or gums, causing pain
- Because they are hard to reach with a toothbrush, they can develop decay and cavities

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we do extract wisdom teeth at Parkwood Dental on a case-by-case basis. Our doctors will determine whether the extraction can be done at our office with minimal discomfort- otherwise, the case will be referred to a specialist in town that we trust.
We use local anesthetic to get the tooth and the general area very numb before getting started. The only thing you should feel is pressure during an extraction.
We do not offer general anesthesia and any cases requiring sedation will be referred to a Bradenton oral surgeon for the procedure.
As the gums heal following an extraction, some discomfort is inevitable. Follow our post-operative instructions and take prescriptions as recommended by our dentist to reduce the amount of discomfort as much as possible. Pain should subside gradually over the span of 1-2 weeks.
A dry socket is an infection of the bone & gums of the extraction site. It is caused due to improper healing- a blood clot which forms in the socket may have become dislodged by swishing, smoking, etc.
After a tooth is extracted, some bone loss in the area is inevitable. This can be unsightly, and also make it impossible for an implant to be placed. The bone graft provides a framework, or scaffolding for your body to fill the area with your own new bone. The bone graft can also speed up healing time and reduce discomfort following the extraction.
The most important thing is to avoid after an extraction is smoking. Avoid any other type of sucking motion as well, since this can dislodge the blood clot. So no drinking through a straw, no swishing mouthwash, no spitting. Also no hot foods, and make sure no food remains in the extraction site after eating.
