Understanding Tooth Extractions
At Said Dental, we understand that the idea of having a tooth extracted can feel overwhelming, but our team is here to make the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

We perform extractions with the utmost precision, using modern techniques to minimize discomfort and preserve your natural teeth if possible.
When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?
We always prioritize saving your natural teeth whenever possible, but there are situations where tooth extractions are the best course of action to protect your overall oral health. Extractions may be recommended in the following cases:
- Severe Tooth Decay or Damage
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth
- Overcrowding
- Severe Gum Disease
Benefits of Dental Exams
Dental exams performed by a reputable dentist in Canton, OH, like Dr. Said, will improve your overall health by:
Remove Plaque and Tartar
Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. If plaque is not removed, it can harden into tartar, which is much more difficult to remove. Dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, helping to keep your smile healthy.
Protect Your Tooth Enamel
Plaque and tartar can also damage your tooth enamel, the hard outer layer of your teeth. When the enamel is damaged, it is more susceptible to decay and other oral health problems. Dental cleanings help to protect your tooth enamel and keep your smile looking its best.
Whiten Your Teeth
Over time, your teeth can become stained by coffee, tea, tobacco, and other dark-colored foods and drinks. Dental cleanings can help to remove these stains, leaving you with a brighter, whiter smile.
The Tooth Extraction Procedure
1. Anesthesia
To ensure your comfort during the procedure, Dr. Said will numb the affected tooth, surrounding gums, and jawbone with a local anesthetic. This will prevent pain, though you may still feel pressure from the extraction process.
2. Extraction Process
During the extraction, you will experience pressure as Dr. Said gently rocks the tooth to widen the socket and remove it. If at any point you feel pain, please inform us immediately so we can address it.
3. Sectioning a Tooth
In some cases, a tooth may be sectioned into smaller pieces to facilitate easier removal. This is common when a tooth is deeply anchored or has a curved root that makes extraction challenging.
