WHAT IS A TOOTH EXTRACTION?
HOW IS THAT DONE?
Often times, extractions are referred to as "pulling a tooth." Contrary to popular belief, there is actually very little pulling! After local anesthesia ("novocaine") is given to numb your tooth and surrounding tissue, special dental instruments are used to gently loosen your tooth and carefully lift it from its socket.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE EXTRACTION IS DONE?
You will be biting on gauze when your procedure is done and we will most likely change it one time before you leave the office. We will discuss post-operative instructions that are specific to your individual case, such as medications, restrictions, and how to care for the socket while it is healing.
WHAT TYPES OF DENTAL PROVIDERS PERFORM EXTRACTIONS?
Great question! General dentists, oral surgeons and periodontists all extract teeth. Although most extractions are done at our office, at times we may refer a patient out to an oral surgeon or periodontist to have the extraction done.

Dr. Hull, Laura and Denny from Dr. Kallen Hull's dental practice are the most welcoming, caring and positive folks. Our world is challenging more than ever but going to Dr. Hull is like a home away from the stresses. The environment of this practice fosters a warm, non-judgmental place to be.

I always dreaded going to the dentist.. From the moment that you walk through the office door you are greeted by Denny.. He is so kind and such a sweet man. I actually look forward to my dentist appointment. I never used to say that. I would always tell my mom I am not going. From the moment that I made the change to see Dr Hull I have never looked back and wish that I made the change from the beginning. Dr. Hull has a very gentle way about him and always wants to know if you feel pain or aren't happy. He says I want you to tell me if you not happy, that says it all - he cares about his clients. You never feel rushed they always leave plenty of time.. Laura is amazing as well.. She always remembers which tooth paste I don't like and always makes accommodations. Laura has a vibrant way and always makes me feel I'm in good hands. I cant say enough good things about Dr Hull, Laura and Denny. I can finally say that I have trust in my dentist and his team.
