At Rapha Dental, we know that tooth extractions can feel intimidating. Not having answers to common questions can make the process even more stressful. That’s why our caring team in Cinnaminson, NJ provides clear guidance about extractions — so you know exactly what to expect before, during, and after treatment.
Why a Patient May Need a Tooth Extracted
Every patient’s situation is unique, but here are the most common reasons we see:
-
Overcrowding in younger patients preparing for orthodontics
-
Advanced gum disease causing teeth to loosen
-
Wisdom teeth removal (surgical extractions)
-
Severe decay or trauma that leaves a tooth beyond repair, even with a crown
How Dentists Decide If a Tooth Should Be Pulled
The decision to extract is made after a thorough exam. In most cases, extractions are necessary due to:
-
Overcrowding or impaction
-
Extensive damage
-
Infection that cannot be resolved with other treatments
At Rapha Dental, we always explore every option before recommending extraction.
Will I Need to Miss School or Work?
For simple extractions, most patients need only a few hours to rest before returning to normal activities.
For more complex surgical extractions, recovery may take 24–48 hours before you feel comfortable resuming work or school. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to speed healing.
Bleeding Gums and Loose Teeth
If your gums bleed when brushing, it does not always mean a tooth is loose. The most common cause is being overdue for a professional cleaning.
The best way to know is by scheduling an exam with Rapha Dental in Cinnaminson. During your visit, we can also answer questions about extractions and discuss options for replacing missing teeth, such as dental implants.
