Emergency Wisdom Tooth Removal in Edmonton

We keep room in the schedule for urgent cases and will do our best to see you the same day during clinic hours. Calling early gives us the most options. If your case turns out to need an oral surgeon, we can still assess you, manage the pain or infection, and arrange the referral.

Pain that stops you eating or sleeping, does not respond to painkillers, or comes with swelling or a bad taste should be looked at promptly. Swelling that spreads across the face, affects breathing or swallowing, or comes with a fever is a medical emergency and needs an emergency room or a call to Health Link at 811, not a dental appointment.

The area is fully frozen before anything starts, so you should feel pressure rather than pain during the procedure. Afterwards, expect some soreness and swelling for a few days once the freezing wears off, which is usually well managed with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Oral sedation and NuCalm are available if you are anxious about the appointment.

Cost depends on how many teeth are involved, whether the extraction is simple or surgical, and whether sedation is used. We give you the cost before we proceed, so there are no surprises afterwards. Sana Dental offers direct insurance billing, and our team can review your coverage with you first.

Extractions are among the services the CDCP can help cover for approved patients, though you may still be responsible for a portion of the cost depending on your income. Sana Dental accepts CDCP coverage. Note that approval can take up to three months, so the CDCP is not a route to funding treatment you need this week.

Most people feel noticeably better after three or four days, with swelling peaking around day two. Soft foods, rest, and following the aftercare instructions closely all help. Avoid smoking and drinking through a straw during the first few days, since both can dislodge the healing clot and cause a painful dry socket.

We will tell you straight away rather than starting something that is better handled elsewhere. You will get an assessment, an X-ray, help with the immediate pain or infection, and a referral to an oral surgeon in North Edmonton.

No. Sana Dental welcomes new patients and no referral is required to book. If you are in pain and you are not currently with a dentist, call us and we will help.
