Signs an extraction is the right call
We always try to save a tooth first. But when the damage is too far gone, removing it promptly stops the pain and protects the teeth around it. These are the situations that usually mean extraction.
Severe decay
Decay has destroyed too much of the tooth to restore with a filling or crown. Removing it ends the pain and infection risk.
Broken below the gum
A tooth that's fractured down to the root usually can't be rebuilt. Extraction clears the way for a clean replacement.
Abscess or infection
A swollen, throbbing tooth with infection that won't respond to a root canal often needs to come out to stop it spreading.
Failed root canal
When a previously treated tooth flares up again and can't be re-treated, removal is the reliable way to end the cycle.
Loose from bone loss
Advanced gum disease can loosen a tooth past saving. Removing it protects the bone and neighboring teeth.
Replace it same visit
Because Dr. Maupin is a surgeon, he can often place a bone graft or implant right after the extraction — fewer trips, faster healing.
What to do right now
- Don't chew on that side. Pressure on a failing tooth worsens the pain and can spread infection.
- Rinse gently with warm salt water. It cleans the area and calms inflamed gums.
- Cold compress for swelling. 20 minutes on, 20 off, against the cheek.
- Take over-the-counter pain relief. As directed on the label — it helps until we numb you.
- Call us — don't wait. Infection and pain only grow. The sooner we see you, the sooner it's over. (254) 848-2722

Emergency extraction questions
Does an extraction hurt?
We numb the area completely before we begin, so you feel pressure but not pain. Oral sedation is available if you're anxious. Most patients tell us it was far easier than they expected.
Can I be seen the same day?
Call us and we'll do everything we can to remove the tooth the same day during office hours (Mon–Thu, 8am–4pm). Painful teeth are treated as urgent.
Can the tooth be replaced?
Yes. Because Dr. Maupin is a surgeon, he can often place a bone graft or dental implant right after the extraction — so you leave with a plan to fill the gap, not just an empty space.
Is sedation available?
Yes. We offer sedation and a calm, gentle pace for patients who are nervous or in a lot of pain.
What will it cost?
It depends on the tooth and whether you replace it, and we'll give you an honest estimate before we start. We accept most major insurance and offer financing.
