Tooth extractions are always the last option, though in certain instances, full removal is the best treatment option to maintain your overall oral health. When the time comes, the team at Tooth Suite Family Dentistry is here to provide the expert care and support for you. If you are looking for tooth extractions in Lloydminster, we provide compassionate service.
Why Do Teeth Need to be Extracted?
Although permanent teeth are intended to last a lifetime, there are times when tooth extractions near you are necessary. A tooth may need to be taken out if it’s badly decayed, loose from gum disease, or cracked below the gums and can’t be fixed. Additionally, teeth may be extracted to support orthodontic treatment or avoid future complications, especially with wisdom teeth if they are crowded, or to avoid damaging adjacent teeth.
How Do You Remove an Erupted Tooth?
You’ve likely heard the expression “get a tooth pulled,” but that is misleading. At Tooth Suite Family Dentistry, we don’t pull teeth; we remove them confidently and strategically as part of your dental care. After numbing you for your comfort, we loosen the tooth with some controlled movements to lift it out. For certain teeth, we might need to gently break them into smaller pieces to take them out more safely. Looking for tooth extractions in Lloydminster and looking for a skilled hand? You’ve come to the right place.
What Happens After a Tooth is Removed?
Every patient’s experience will be somewhat different. After we remove your tooth, your dentist near you will review your aftercare instructions. Discomfort is normal after the numbing wears off, which can generally be managed with an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Typically, swelling and bleeding are minimal, along with directions on self-care to promote healing.
Do I Need a New Tooth After One Is Taken Out?
Sometimes, it’s important to replace a missing tooth, especially if it’s a back tooth like a molar that helps you chew and keeps your bite even. Failing to replace a crucial tooth could result in tooth drift or alignment issues. But wisdom teeth are often removed, and they usually don’t need a new tooth put in their place. We’ll discuss this with you before your extraction so you understand all your options.
