Performing Simple or Surgical Tooth Extractions in a Comfortable and Calming Environment
At Dentistry at Frederick in Kitchener, our dental cleaning services go beyond simply polishing your teeth. These essential visits remove harmful buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach, protecting both your oral health and overall well-being.
When a tooth is too compromised for restoration with a filling or crown, extraction prevents infection from spreading.
If periodontal disease has caused significant bone loss around a tooth, making it loose and painful, removal might be necessary.
Sometimes extractions help create space for orthodontic treatment or to address severe crowding issues.
When a tooth is too compromised for restoration with a filling or crown, extraction prevents infection from spreading.
For patients with compromised immune systems, removing potentially problematic teeth can protect overall health.
Before the procedure, we begin with a comprehensive exam, which may include X-rays to better visualize the tooth’s position, root structure, and surrounding bone. Next, we’ll review your medical history and current medications to ensure your safety during treatment and explain your sedation options based on your comfort needs and the complexity of your extraction. During the extraction procedure, you can expect the following:
Local anesthesia ensures you won't feel pain during the procedure.
For simple extractions, we carefully loosen and remove the visible tooth. For impacted or more complicated cases, a surgical extraction may be needed to access the tooth.
Once the tooth is removed, we may place stitches and will apply gauze to control bleeding and promote clot formation. We'll provide you with thorough aftercare instructions to ease your discomfort at home and promote a quick and easy recovery.
We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to prevent dry socket, guidelines about eating, drinking, and cleaning, reducing swelling with cold compresses and over-the-counter medication, and more.
