Tooth extraction
A tooth may need removal because of disease, injury or other clinical reasons. Before treatment, ask whether the tooth can be saved and how removal affects your longer-term dental plan.
Understand your options
Ask what the examination shows and why a treatment is recommended.
Discuss your priorities
Explain your goals, concerns and previous dental experiences.
Plan your next step
Discuss alternatives, expected care and individualized costs.
Know what to expect
Ask about maintenance, follow-up and when to contact the practice.
Will I need a replacement? That depends on the tooth and your treatment plan. Ask about the choices before the extraction when possible.

Plan for the procedure and recovery
The dental team should explain the procedure, comfort measures and individualized aftercare. Follow the instructions provided for your treatment and contact the office with recovery concerns. If a tooth is being removed, discuss whether and when a replacement is appropriate.
