Tooth extractions can be stressful, but rest assured, the Casa Dental team is here to make the process as comfortable as possible. Our team provides tooth extractions in Toronto and Mississauga for a variety of circumstances, all with the aim of promoting lasting oral health. Trust us to provide relief and give you a reason to smile again.
You might find yourself in need of teeth extraction due to serious tooth decay, infection, or injury. While our team works to implement treatment plans that save your natural teeth whenever possible, we also provide comfortable extraction when necessary.
We’re also here when the time comes for wisdom teeth extraction. Over half of all people have these additional teeth come in as they move into adulthood, often posing significant issues. Making Casa Dental your dental clinic ensures that you and your family get the care you require for healthy development.
Tooth extraction is a straightforward procedure that you might require for a variety of reasons. If you’re dealing with increased sensitivity, tooth pain or have experienced an injury, our team will assess your teeth to find the most effective treatment option available.
In many cases, other treatments can save the tooth. However, a tooth that has suffered too much decay or damage or has already become seriously infected or abscessed may need extraction. Emergency tooth extraction is necessary when these issues appear suddenly.
Removing the tooth provides relief, restores your ability to eat and speak without pain, and prevents infection or further spread. It also opens the door to options such as dental bridges, dental implants, or partial dentures to restore your smile and ensure lasting oral health.
Tooth extraction can typically be carried out with local anesthetic. However, some patients who face dental anxiety or other factors may benefit from nitrous oxide sedation to remain calm and comfortable throughout.
While dental extraction can vary depending on the specific situation, in most cases, the tooth is simply pulled out with a special tool that applies the necessary force. The socket is then cleaned and disinfected to allow for proper healing.
Immediately after your extraction, gauze will be applied to the area, and you will be instructed to close your mouth firmly to apply steady pressure. This stops the bleeding, like applying pressure to a cut. After just a few minutes, bleeding will have slowed, although you might experience light bleeding over the following 24 hours.
In most cases, you’ll be back to normal within two to three days. During that time, you should avoid strenuous activity and biting or chewing at the affected area. Gentle rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash will help prevent infection and keep the extraction site clean.
Most dental plans cover tooth extraction as a vital procedure. However, to be sure, you can contact Casa Dental to discuss tooth extraction costs.
Tooth extraction is sometimes required in emergency situations. When issues are detected early, alternative treatment plans can often work. However, if you have an accident or an unseen issue that worsens suddenly, extraction may be the best treatment option.
Dental injury is a common reason for emergency tooth extraction. Whether from sports activity, a vehicle accident, or even an unfortunate fall, a severely cracked or broken tooth can cause severe pain and pose an infection risk. While placing a crown would be ideal, the tooth may be too injured, as it requires a strong and healthy base.
Tooth decay can progress unseen and lead to serious issues that may require emergency extraction, which is why you should always keep up with routine appointments. Cavities can expose the tooth’s inner layers, allowing the tissue inside to become infected. Extraction may be necessary if infection progresses and an abscess forms.
Reach out to Casa Dental immediately if you have a dental injury or experience sudden or persistent tooth pain. We can provide the best outcome by acting quickly. Even if the tooth can’t be saved, timely extraction relieves and reduces the risk of further complications.
Some people have a third set of molars, the wisdom teeth. You might have the upper or lower set, or both, or even an odd number. These teeth typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 21. However, there is rarely enough room in your mouth for them, which can lead to a variety of issues.
Wisdom teeth can push out other teeth, leading to misalignment and the need for orthodontic treatment. Their persistent pressure also causes jaw pain and soreness. Wisdom tooth removal at the right time can avoid these issues.
Casa Dental provides wisdom tooth extraction for many cases. We monitor the potential need for wisdom tooth extraction as a regular part of routine dental exams so that our patients can undergo removal at the right time.
However, wisdom teeth can take on strange positions or become impacted. In those cases, we can refer you to an oral surgeon for this more complex procedure.
Whether you need a wisdom tooth extraction or an emergency tooth extraction for any reason, just call us at 1-888-270-8793 for our Mississauga clinic, 1-888-920-5324 for our Toronto clinic, or contact us online to find the professional dental help you need.
