While adult teeth are meant to last a lifetime, and extraction is always a last resort, there are some situations where removal is the best course of action. Sana Dental is pleased to offer safe, effective, and pain-free tooth extractions when recommended by your Edmonton dentist.
While the removal of a tooth is always a very last resort, there are situations where it might be recommended. Advanced periodontal disease, severe tooth decay, or the existence of a fracture are all situations that might call for an extraction.
The very first step in the tooth extraction process is the administering of a local anesthetic to numb the tooth, jawbone, gums, and surrounding area. Although you might feel some slight pressure during the procedure, you will remain completely pain-free and comfortable throughout the entire process. It is not uncommon to experience some mild discomfort after the tooth is removed and immediately after the freezing wears off. Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen are recommended at this time. Any swelling or bleeding you experience is usually very minimal. Your North Edmonton dentist will go over with you exactly what to expect.
