Tooth extractions are a common dental procedure performed to remove a tooth from its socket in the bone. At Myers + Co. Family Dentistry, located in the heart of Cary, NC, we understand that the thought of extracting a tooth can be daunting. However, our experienced team, led by Dr. Sarah Myers, ensures that the process is as comfortable and pain-free as possible. Whether it’s due to severe decay, infection, or crowding, tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to maintain overall oral health. We utilize the latest techniques and sedation options to ensure a smooth experience, prioritizing your comfort and health at every step.
Tooth extractions date back to ancient Egypt, where they used primitive tools.

One of the immediate benefits of tooth extraction is the relief from pain and discomfort caused by a problematic tooth. Whether it’s due to decay, infection, or impaction, removing the tooth can alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Extracting a damaged or decayed tooth can prevent the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and gums. This proactive step helps maintain the overall health of your mouth and prevents more serious dental issues down the line.
By removing overcrowded or problematic teeth, you can improve your oral hygiene. This makes it easier to clean your teeth effectively, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. This step is crucial for maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile.
The first step in the tooth extraction process is an initial consultation with Dr. Sarah Myers at Myers + Co. Family Dentistry. During this appointment, we will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the condition of your tooth and determine the best course of action. We will discuss your medical history and any concerns you may have, ensuring you are fully informed and comfortable with the procedure.
Before the extraction, we prepare the area by administering a local anesthetic to numb the tooth and surrounding gum tissue. For those who experience anxiety or require more complex extractions, we offer sedation options to ensure a relaxed experience. Our team is committed to providing a pain-free procedure, and we take every measure to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
Once the area is numb, Dr. Myers will carefully extract the tooth using specific instruments. The procedure typically involves gently rocking the tooth back and forth to loosen it from the jawbone before removal. In cases where the tooth is impacted, a small incision may be made in the gum to access the tooth. After the extraction, we will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimize discomfort.
