What started as a dull ache… now it’s keeping you up at night?
If you’re living with constant tooth pain, pressure in your jaw, or swelling that won’t go away, you know how exhausting it is to function through it.
At West Palm Beach Family Dental, we see it every day—residents across Lake Worth coming to us after weeks or months of “pushing through” the pain, hoping it’ll just go away. It doesn’t.
The truth? When a tooth is severely infected, cracked, or impacted, extraction may be the only option for genuine relief. But we get it—no one wants a tooth pulled. That’s why we make the process as gentle, fast, and anxiety-free as possible.
From wisdom teeth to emergency extractions, you’ll be in the skilled, compassionate hands of our team. And you’ll finally breathe easy, pain-free, stress-free, and ready to heal.
Struggling with a painful tooth? Call West Palm Beach Family Dental for a fast, stress-free extraction appointment in Lake Worth. We’re here to help—before the pain gets worse.
Sometimes, the best way to protect your overall oral health is to remove a tooth that’s causing damage or pain.
At West Palm Beach Family Dental, we guide Lake Worth patients through this decision with clarity and compassion, always prioritizing comfort, function, and long-term results.
When tooth decay spreads deep into the pulp or root and can’t be resolved with a filling or root canal, extraction becomes necessary to stop infection and preserve surrounding teeth.
Teeth that are fractured beneath the gum line or broken into multiple pieces often cannot be saved. Leaving them in place can lead to infection, pain, and damage to the jawbone.
Wisdom teeth can become impacted, infected, or cause nearby teeth to become misaligned. Removing them prevents future complications and relieves pressure.
Periodontal disease weakens the structures holding your teeth in place. In cases of severe gum recession and bone loss, extraction may be needed to prevent further deterioration.
Every patient—and every tooth—is different. That’s why West Palm Beach Family Dental offers multiple types of extractions, each tailored to your unique dental situation.
Whether you need a simple removal or complex surgical care, our team in Lake Worth is here to ensure a smooth, low-stress experience from start to finish.
These procedures are performed when the tooth is fully erupted and visible above the gum line. Often used for decayed or damaged teeth that can’t be saved, simple extractions are quick, minimally invasive, and performed under local anesthesia.
When a tooth is broken off at the gumline, impacted, or hasn’t fully emerged, surgical extraction may be necessary. Our team uses precise techniques and advanced imaging to minimize tissue trauma and accelerate healing.
Impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth often lead to pain, infection, or crowding. We offer skilled, comfortable third molar extractions—often recommended between ages 17 and 25—to prevent future complications.
Need help deciding which type of extraction is right for you? Our team is happy to evaluate and explain all your options. Contact us now.
If you’ve never had a tooth removed before, it’s normal to feel uncertain. At West Palm Beach Family Dental, we guide our Lake Worth patients through each step of the process, ensuring they feel informed, confident, and cared for every moment of the way.
Your comfort is our priority. We utilize advanced tools and techniques to minimize tissue damage and minimize post-procedure discomfort.
For patients with dental anxiety, we offer nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) or oral sedatives in a safe, supervised setting.
Healing doesn’t end when you leave our office. We ensure that every Lake Worth patient leaves with the knowledge and tools necessary to recover comfortably and avoid complications.
While rare, dry socket can occur if the blood clot is dislodged. Symptoms include worsening pain several days post-extraction.

How do I know if I need a tooth extraction?
You may need a tooth extraction if you have severe decay, infection, advanced gum disease, or a tooth that’s cracked beyond repair. Wisdom teeth that cause pain or crowding are also commonly removed.
Is tooth extraction painful?
No, most patients report little to no pain during the procedure. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and sedation options are available for added comfort.
How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?
Most people heal from a simple extraction within 7 to 10 days. Surgical extractions, such as impacted wisdom teeth, may require up to two weeks for recovery.
What should I eat after a tooth extraction?
Stick to soft foods like yogurt, applesauce, mashed potatoes, and smoothies for the first few days. Avoid hard, crunchy, spicy, or hot foods until your dentist says it’s safe.
How much does a tooth extraction cost in Lake Worth?
Costs vary based on complexity. Simple extractions often start around $125, while surgical or wisdom tooth extractions can cost up to $600 or more. Insurance and financing options may reduce out-of-pocket costs.
What is dry socket, and how can I prevent it?
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot at the extraction site dislodges, exposing nerves. Avoid smoking, using straws, or vigorous rinsing during early recovery to prevent it.
Can I go back to work after a tooth extraction?
Yes, many patients return to work the next day after a simple extraction. However, rest is recommended for at least 24 hours, especially after a surgical procedure or the removal of wisdom teeth.
