Tooth Extractions in Marysville, OH

At Marysville Family Dentistry, one of our primary goals is to help you preserve and maintain your natural teeth for as long as possible. However, sometimes certain circumstances require removing a tooth to protect your surrounding teeth, oral health, and overall well-being.

Comfortable Tooth Extraction in Marysville

If you do need a tooth extraction, you can rest assured that you’re in good hands with your Marysville Family Dentistry team. Dr. Halasa has helped hundreds of patients with tooth extractions, and his kind demeanor and gentle approach make the procedure comfortable and stress-free.

We also offer sedation dentistry with nitrous oxide to help “take the edge off” for complex procedures like tooth extraction.

Our team is here to support and guide you through the tooth extraction process, from initial evaluation to recovery and beyond. If you’re not having wisdom teeth extracted, Dr. Halasa can also discuss tooth replacement options with you.

When Do We Recommend a Tooth Extraction?

Dr. Halasa might recommend that your tooth be removed in these situations:

Severe Damage

A tooth that is severely fractured, traumatized, or decayed may not be salvageable.

Wisdom Teeth

Most third molars, or wisdom teeth, will need to be removed for various reasons.

Advanced Gum Disease

Periodontitis (advanced gum disease) destroys the tooth’s primary support system, its gums and bone, often resulting in tooth loss.

Tooth Infection

A severely infected tooth that is beyond the scope of root canal treatment can be extracted.

Do My Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Extracted?

Not everyone will need their wisdom teeth removed, and Dr. Halasa can determine after an evaluation whether extraction is recommended.

Here are the situations in which we do recommend extracting wisdom teeth:

Crowding — Most people don’t have enough room for their wisdom teeth. If that’s the case, they may crowd neighboring teeth and compromise the results of previous orthodontic treatment, potentially ruining the alignment of straightened teeth.
Cleanliness — Third molars arrive at the back of your mouth behind your second molars. Some people struggle to reach them for proper brushing and flossing. If you can’t keep them clean, you’re more susceptible to developing problems like tooth decay and gum disease.
Impaction — Wisdom teeth may remain impacted, meaning they are stuck beneath the gumline. Impacted wisdom teeth can result in an infection and should be removed.
Protect Neighboring Teeth — If your wisdom teeth arrive at odd angles, it could be detrimental to neighboring teeth and cause them harm or damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?

Recovery time from a tooth extraction varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and your individual healing process, but most patients feel significantly better within just a few days. At Marysville Family Dentistry, we'll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and remain available to support you throughout your healing journey. Understanding what to expect can help you plan accordingly and ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery.

What to Expect After a Tooth Extraction in Marysville

For most simple extractions, the initial healing period takes about 3-5 days, with the extraction site continuing to heal over the following weeks. More complex extractions, such as wisdom teeth removal, may require 7-10 days before you're back to your normal routine. Following our post-operative care instructions carefully will help minimize discomfort and promote faster healing.

Recovery timeline and care tips:

First 24 hours—rest, apply ice packs to reduce swelling, and bite on gauze as directed to control bleeding.
Days 1-3—expect some swelling and mild discomfort that can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication.
Stick to soft foods like yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes, and soups for the first few days.
Avoid using straws, smoking, or vigorous rinsing, which can dislodge the blood clot and cause dry socket.
Gently rinse with warm salt water starting 24 hours after extraction to keep the area clean.

Most patients return to work or school within 1-2 days for simple extractions. If you experience severe pain, excessive bleeding, or signs of infection, contact our Marysville dental office immediately at (937) 644-1115. We're here to ensure your recovery is as comfortable as possible!

Tooth Extraction Technology

Dental Sedation

Do you ever feel fearful or anxious about visiting the dentist? We recognize that dental anxiety is a genuine concern, and we strive to ensure every patient feels comfortable and at ease during their visit. That's why we offer sedation dentistry with nitrous oxide and oral sedation as an option to help ease nervousness and create a more pleasant dental experience.

Nitrous oxide is an effective and safe sedation option, administered through a small mask, that takes effect within minutes to help you feel calm and at ease while remaining fully conscious and able to respond. Nitrous oxide is ideal for patients of all ages, wears off quickly after your appointment, and allows you to drive yourself home.

Oral sedation is delivered through medication taken prior to your dental appointment. It offers more profound relaxation, so you'll feel as if you were sleeping, yet you are still responsive. You will need to arrange transportation to and from your dental appointment if you choose oral sedation.

Let us help make your dental visit stress-free and comfortable!
