Tooth Extraction

When a tooth needs to be extracted a patient typically becomes anxious to complete the procedure and get it over with. Having a tooth pulled is sometimes necessary to remove decay or dental damage. Dr. Christopher Emuedue of Greenville Family Dentistry will discuss sedation options during a consultation and explain the entire process in detail to assure the patient is as comfortable as possible before, during, and after.


Teeth may be extracted to make room for orthodontics, or to remove a tooth that is badly damaged or decayed. The most common type of extraction is wisdom teeth. This is because wisdom teeth can lead to infection. The procedure involves cutting the tooth and gently rocking it back-and-forth to loosen it from the jawbone. To ensure that the stitches don’t break after surgery, Dr. Emuedue will give you strict post-op instructions to follow once the procedure is complete.
