Tooth Extractions
Why do you need tooth extractions?
- Unrestorable tooth due to decay
- Infection that will spread
- Broken tooth/root from trauma
- Prepare for Braces
- No space for Wisdom teeth
- Wisdom teeth has affected your other teeth
- Involved with pathology
- Prepare for radiation treatment
- Genetic history involving too many teeth
The Extraction Process
At the time of extraction the doctor will very gently numb the area with a local anesthetic.
During the extraction process you will feel pushing pressure. This is from the process of firmly rocking the tooth in order to loosen the ligaments that attach to root to your bone socket.
You feel the pressure without pain as the anesthetic has temporarily numbed the nerves stopping the transference of pain, yet the nerves that transmit pressure are not profoundly affected.
Pain during the procedure is not acceptable to us and if you experience pain, let us know so that we may relieve it.
Sectioning a tooth
Some teeth require sectioning. This is a common technique used when a tooth is so firmly anchored in its socket or the root is curved and the socket cannot expand enough to remove it. The doctor simply cuts the tooth into sections then removes each section one at a time. This is a painless procedure.

I came to Dr. Hullett after a tooth extraction by regular dentist could not be completed due to a stubborn root piece. It was important to get the last part out soon, and the office promptly accommodated, finding room on the same day for a visit and the needed surgery. The first thing I want in a dental office is that they get it right, and I was impressed from the front desk, to the aide who took me through all preparation, and finally Dr. Jason who completed the job. I also want compassion, and to feel secure while I'm getting the needed anesthesia, which I was. After 6 decades and more than a few dental mis-adventures, I feel this office was one of the best I've ever visited.

My 11 year old son had to have a tooth extraction which required general anesthesia. He was anxious and worried and is very inquisitive. Dr's Hullet were beyond compassionate, warm and open to answer all his questions from the initial consultation to the procedure day. The staff is so polite and friendly as well. The key differencing factor that really sets these two Dr's apart is their dedication to their patients. Dr. Anu Hullett asked me to come by since they were still in the same office the day of his procedure so she can check him out, both Dr's checked him out and again answered all this 11 years old question with patience and reassured him and I that everything is fine. They go above and beyond and are truly available to you. I am beyond pleased with the service received and the Dr's attentive and passion beyond what they do. I highly recommend Dr's Hullet due to these qualities which are hard to come by these days. Thank you Dr's Hullet and staff!
