Understanding the Dental Care

What Tooth Extraction Is

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket. It may sound intimidating, but it’s a safe and routine procedure that helps relieve pain, clear infection, or make space for a healthier smile. Extractions are often needed when a tooth is too damaged to repair, is impacted, or is crowding other teeth.

At Method Modern Dentistry in Alpharetta and Roswell, GA, Dr. Alex Franco ensures every extraction is as gentle as possible. We numb the area completely, walk you through each step, and guide you through aftercare so healing is quick and smooth. Whether it’s a simple removal or something more complex like wisdom teeth, you’ll be supported from beginning to end with expert care and a calm, friendly environment.

Quick steps before your treatment

Preparation for Your Tooth Extraction

Getting ready for a tooth extraction is like preparing for a small reset in your mouth, and the goal is to make the day feel calm and predictable. Before the appointment, pay attention to how the tooth acts, whether it aches when chewing or reacts to temperature, since these details help Dr. Alex Franco plan your treatment. Get good rest the night before and eat a solid meal a couple of hours beforehand so you feel steady during the visit. If you take medication, vitamins, or herbal supplements, bring them up so she can confirm what is safe to continue.

Many patients prep soft foods like soups or smoothies for after the appointment to avoid rushing later. Most of all, arrive knowing the procedure is gentle and that Dr. Alex Franco will guide you through every step.

Healing well at home

Aftercare for Your Tooth Extraction

After the tooth is removed, your body begins healing right away, and the first day is the most important. Keep the gauze in place for the first hour to help the clot form, replacing it only if needed. Avoid rinsing, spitting, or drinking through a straw for 24 hours since strong suction can dislodge the clot. Stick to soft foods and chew on the opposite side to keep the area undisturbed. After the first day, rinse gently with warm salt water to soothe the area and keep it clean. Continue brushing, but avoid the extraction site until the tissues look calmer.

Mild swelling or tenderness is normal, and Dr. Alex Franco may recommend over the counter pain relievers if needed. If pain increases or something feels off, schedule a quick check so she can ensure the site is healing properly.

Still Got Questions About Tooth Extraction?

Here’s everything you need to know before your visit. From how the treatment works to what to expect after your appointment, we’ve got you covered.

Does getting a tooth pulled hurt?

Nope. Dr. Franco uses local anesthesia to fully numb the area. You may feel slight pressure, but no pain. Aftercare is key — and we’ll walk you through all of it.

How long does healing take?

Most patients feel back to normal within a few days. Complete healing of the gum area can take 1 to 2 weeks depending on the tooth and your health.

What should I avoid after the procedure?

Avoid drinking through straws, smoking, or eating hard foods for a few days. We’ll send you home with detailed instructions and check in if needed.

Will I need a replacement tooth?

Sometimes yes — especially if it’s a molar or front tooth. We’ll talk options like implants, bridges, or partials before you commit to anything.

Is tooth extraction the last resort?

Always. If the tooth can be saved with a crown, root canal, or other treatment, we’ll recommend that first. Extractions are done only when necessary.
