If you're looking for a tooth extraction in Middletown, NJ, you've come to the right place. At Paragon Dental, we specialize in safe, quick, and comfortable tooth extractions.
Before modern anesthesia, tooth extractions were often painful procedures. Patients would sometimes be given alcohol or herbal remedies to numb the pain. Today, dentists use local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort during tooth extractions.

The pain can be excruciating if you have a severely decayed or damaged tooth. Extracting the broken or infected tooth can bring much-needed relief, allowing your body and mouth to heal.
Tooth extractions are a preventive measure that helps you maintain your oral health by removing potential sources of bacteria before they can do more damage.
If you're doing orthodontic work, extracting a tooth can be essential to give teeth more space, allowing them to align appropriately without crowding.
The first step is an X-ray. This allows Dr. Indelicato to examine your tooth better and determine whether an extraction is necessary.
Next, a local anesthetic numbing agent will be applied directly to the affected area so you can remain comfortable throughout the process.
Dr. Indelicato will extract your tooth with special dental instruments. This step usually takes 10-20 minutes.
After your tooth has been extracted, Dr. Indelicato will give you specific post-extraction instructions on how to take care of your mouth and avoid any potential complications, such as swelling or infection.
We can't wait to see you!
Several tooth replacement options are available after tooth extraction. This depends on your needs and preferences. Some common options include dental implants, dentures, and bridges.
Tooth extractions are usually not painful during the procedure because dentists use local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia to numb the area and ensure patient comfort.
After the anesthesia wears off, some discomfort and swelling are normal. Dr. Indelicato will prescribe pain medication and provide post-operative care instructions to manage discomfort and promote healing.
