Is Tooth Extraction Really Necessary?

There are various situations where removing a tooth becomes essential, including:

  • Baby teeth that fail to fall out on their own.
  • Teeth removed as part of orthodontic treatment.
  • Teeth causing severe pain or persistent infections.
  • Broken teeth that need extraction to ease discomfort.

However, extraction isn’t always the only solution. If you’re dealing with a toothache, other treatment options may offer relief while preserving your tooth. The key to effective care is early intervention.

Contact us if you experience any of the following:

  • Severe tooth pain.
  • Pain that worsens when chewing or under pressure.
  • Jaw stiffness or discomfort.
  • Swollen gums near the affected tooth.
  • Signs of gum disease, such as bleeding, colour changes, or a foul odour.

We urge you to get in touch if you find yourself experiencing any of the subsequent symptoms:

  1. Experiencing excruciating tooth pain.
  2. Suffering from pain that intensifies under pressure or while chewing.
  3. Encountering jaw discomfort or a sensation of rigidity.
  4. Witnessing swollen gums surrounding the afflicted tooth or teeth.
  5. Noticing telltale signs of gum disease, such as changes in colour, bleeding, or the presence of an unpleasant odor.

The Treatment Plan

Performed by a dentist or oral surgeon, extractions are usually completed in a single visit. The process involves an evaluation, the procedure itself, and post-extraction care:

Seeking Resolutions

Our dentists thoroughly assess your symptoms and discuss all treatment options to determine the best course of action for your oral health.

The Extraction Procedure

A local anaesthetic is typically applied to numb the area, with sedation available if needed. Using minimally invasive techniques, our oral surgeons ensure a gentle and comfortable extraction process, prioritising your quick recovery.

Improving Your Well-being

Post-Extraction Guidance
We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions, including:

  • Tips for proper healing and oral hygiene.
  • Recovery expectations.
  • Steps to address any complications.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, we can gladly schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure your concerns are addressed.

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are several situations where removing a tooth might be required, such as advanced decay, significant damage, overcrowding, impacted wisdom teeth, or as part of orthodontic preparation.

The price of a tooth extraction depends on factors like the complexity of the procedure, location, and insurance coverage. A simple extraction typically costs between $75 and $200, while surgical extractions range from $225 to $600 or more.

With local anaesthesia, you should not feel pain during the procedure, although some pressure and mild discomfort are normal. After the extraction, pain and swelling are common but manageable with prescribed pain relievers.

Healing times vary based on the type of procedure and your health. Initial healing usually takes 7-10 days, during which you should follow post-care instructions and avoid certain foods. Complete recovery, including gum and bone healing, may take weeks or months.

Dry socket can occur within a few days after extraction and may last 5-7 days. Following post-care guidelines reduces the likelihood of this complication and promotes a smooth recovery.

My dental visits are always a highlight of the week. Not only has Holly done a great job identifying any issues over the past number years I've been going here, but we also touch on minor adjustments to my healthcare routine that will improve upon any issues that exist. Additionally... the service here has become a very personalized experience over the years, which makes it an enjoyable experience as well.

Great experience at Brighton Dental Centre! I transferred from a fancy Toronto dental centre with all the bells and whistles that constantly tried to upsell me... was all about the money. Was looking for a more down to earth approach and after checking out many businesses and their google reviews I landed in Brighton. Made the right choice! Have had two hygienists now and both were great. Nice atmosphere, no pushing, respectful of my choices... made me feel very comfortable. Highly recommend!
