Safe and Gentle Tooth Extractions
Compassionate Care When You Need It Most
At Eagle Ridge Dentistry, we understand that tooth extraction is often the last resort for treating a damaged, infected, or problematic tooth. While our priority is always to save your natural teeth, there are times when an extraction is the best option for your overall comfort and health. If you need a tooth extraction, our team is here to provide you with compassionate, expert care.
Our skilled team ensures that your extraction procedure is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. We offer various anesthetic and sedation options to maximize your comfort throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tooth extraction may be necessary in the following cases:
- A tooth is too damaged by decay or infection to be saved
- There’s significant bone loss due to infection
- Teeth are overcrowded, such as with impacted wisdom teeth
- Preparing for certain orthodontic treatments
To prevent dry socket, avoid drinking through a straw, smoking, or rinsing your mouth vigorously for the first few days after the extraction. Follow the post-operative care instructions provided by your dentist, and be sure to keep the extraction site clean. If you have concerns, contact Eagle Ridge Dentistry at (705) 737-2582.
With the anesthetic and sedation options we offer at Eagle Ridge Dentistry, you should only experience minimal discomfort during the extraction. Some soreness afterward is normal, but it can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers as recommended by your dentist.
Recovery time can vary depending on the complexity of the extraction and your overall health. Generally, it takes a few days to a week to fully recover. Following your dentist’s post-care instructions will help ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.
After a tooth extraction, it’s best to stick to soft foods like yogurt, applesauce, mashed potatoes, and soups. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods that could irritate the extraction site. Gradually reintroduce solid foods as you heal.
Most people can return to their normal activities the day after a simple extraction. However, if you’ve had a more complex procedure, like the removal of impacted wisdom teeth, you might need a few days of rest. Your dentist will advise you based on your specific case.
