Tooth Extraction in Orlando, FL

First, your dentist will numb the affected area with a local anesthetic. Next, they will use specialized tools to remove the damaged or infected tooth. Following the extraction, you’ll receive aftercare instructions to ensure a comfortable recovery.

We take every precaution to ensure a comfortable, pain-free tooth extraction experience for our patients. While there may be some discomfort or mild pain during the recovery process, most patients report little to no pain during the actual procedure.

The length of the tooth extraction process can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient's needs. In general, most tooth extractions take less than an hour to complete.

The recovery period can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the complexity of the procedure, the patient's age and overall health, and how well they follow post-operative care instructions. Generally, it is normal to experience some discomfort, swelling, and bleeding in the first few days after the procedure. Most patients can expect to fully recover within one to two weeks.

It is important to avoid eating hard or chewy foods for the first few days, as this can irritate the extraction site and slow down the healing process. Instead, stick to soft foods that are easy to chew and swallow, such as soup, yogurt, or mashed potatoes. As you begin to feel more comfortable, you can gradually reintroduce solid foods into your diet, but be sure to follow your dentist's instructions and avoid foods that may be too hot or spicy.
