What Leads to Tooth Extractions?

Some Common Reasons Include:

  • Impacted or infected wisdom teeth
  • Teeth damaged from trauma
  • Untreatable tooth decay or cavities
  • Advanced periodontal (gum) disease
  • Teeth causing overcrowding
  • Failed root canal treatments
  • Preparation for orthodontics like ClearCorrect

The Extraction Process: What to Expect

Tooth extraction isn’t as dramatic as it sounds. Using local anesthesia—and if needed, nitrous oxide—Dr. Meza ensures you're comfortable and pain-free.

At Meza Dentistry, we perform:

  • Simple extractions for visible teeth
  • Surgical extractions for impacted or broken teeth

Afterward, we’ll walk you through your aftercare plan to promote smooth healing.

Aftercare Matters

Your recovery matters just as much as the procedure itself, which is why we recommend:

  • No smoking or using straws
  • Gentle brushing near the site
  • Eating soft foods like soups and smoothies

And don’t worry—our team checks in with you post-op to ensure everything’s healing nicely.

FAQs About Tooth Extractions in McAllen, TX

Can I go to work the next day after a tooth extraction?

Yes, many people return to work within 24–48 hours if the extraction was simple. Surgical cases may need a bit more rest.

What can I eat after the procedure?

Soft foods like mashed potatoes, oatmeal, and applesauce are ideal. Avoid hot, crunchy, or spicy food for the first few days.

Will the extraction site bleed a lot?

Some light bleeding is normal within the first 24 hours. We provide gauze and care tips to manage it effectively.

Is tooth extraction covered by dental insurance?

Most plans cover necessary extractions. We’ll help verify your benefits before treatment.

What are dry sockets and how do I avoid them?

Dry sockets occur when the blood clot at the site dislodges too soon. Avoid smoking, drinking through straws, and vigorous rinsing for a few days.
