Frequently Asked Questions

  • Impacted third molars (wisdom teeth)
  • Infection stemming from untreated tooth decay or gum disease
  • To make room for orthodontic treatment or dentures
  • Breakage resulting from trauma or impact

Why Are Dental Extractions Beneficial?

Tooth extraction is beneficial in both the short and long term, as it immediately relieves a patient of pain and eliminates the risk of damage spreading to surrounding teeth and tissue.

As tooth extraction is relatively invasive, ensuring proper post-procedure healing requires commitment. This includes following a dentist's instructions and strong oral care practices and diet.

A Proper Post-Extraction Diet

After a tooth extraction in Sunnyvale, patients must stay hydrated and choose foods that promote healing and minimize discomfort. This includes soft and easy-to-chew foods, like mashed potatoes, smoothies, yogurt, applesauce, scrambled eggs, soups, and cooked vegetables, that are gentle on the mouth and will not irritate or damage the extraction site.

Conversely, we recommend patients avoid foods that are hot and spicy, as well as those that are hard and crunchy.
