Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves entirely removing your tooth from its socket. In dentistry, it is typically only used as a last option because keeping the natural tooth in the mouth is ideal. The patient’s condition, age, tooth location, and root development problem will determine the procedure. If you require emergency wisdom tooth removal or specific tooth extraction services, Good Smile offers a very comfortable and stress-free tooth extraction procedure in Windsor. Our dentist will evaluate the need for an extraction and go over all of the details of what to expect before and after the treatment or discuss with you the possibilities for replacing the lost tooth accordingly, like implants, fixed bridges, dentures, and so on.
The following are some of the reasons why tooth extraction may be required:
- Tooth decay or damage that is severe
- Gum disease is a condition that affects the gums
- To improve one’s appearance (e.g., through orthodontic treatment)
- Tooth cracks on a large scale
- Positioning or functionality issues
A consultation for tooth extraction at our Windsor clinic will help us determine how severe your condition is and the right treatment measure to address it.
Procedure for extraction
A local anesthetic – We can give you a local anesthetic before starting the operation to keep you comfortable and pain-free.
Tooth extraction – After numbing the site, the tooth is gently extracted. In some cases, a small incision may be necessary to remove the tooth completely. The cut is then stitched up and closed.
Clean up – Once the tooth is extracted, we see to it that the gum socket is clean before making you bite down on some gauze to slow down and stop the bleeding.
After-care following a tooth extraction at our clinic in Windsor
To make sure the treated site is healing well, our dentist will recommend certain aftercare tips for you to follow. Here’s what you may need to do –
- Follow the prescription for pain medication prescribed by our dentist. This will keep the pain in check once the anesthesia wears down.
- Avoid rinsing your mouth for the next 24 hours after treatment
- Make sure you don’t consume any hot foods and beverages
- Avoid consuming alcohol or smoking for the next couple of days after treatment
- If there is persistent bleeding, make sure you rinse your mouth with salt water (warm) 24 hours after your treatment and repeat it 3 to 4 times a day until the bleeding stops
