Tooth Extraction Midland

Our dentists in Midland will always try to save a healthy tooth when possible but in some cases, the tooth might be too badly damaged to be repaired with treatments such as a root canal or a filling, and our dentists may need to recommend extraction as the most appropriate treatment.

At Midland Dental Centre, we offer tooth extractions for both children and adults, including wisdom teeth removal. Depending on your circumstances, extractions may sometimes be required for another treatment, such as fitting dentures and placing a dental implants supported bridge.

After the tooth extraction process, we’ll also discuss options to help restore your smile, such as dental implants or dentures.

Why do teeth need to be removed?

If any of your teeth have suffered significant damage from trauma, decay or infection, you may need to look at tooth extraction. Before that, our dentists will examine your teeth and take x-rays to see if there’s a chance of repairing the damaged tooth. In many cases, even a tooth that’s been badly damaged may be restored with root canal therapy or by placing a crown or filling on the tooth. In some cases, the damage may be too severe and the dentist may recommend proceeding with a tooth extraction.

A badly damaged tooth can also increase your risk of developing further oral health problems so it is important that it is treated early.

How are teeth extracted?

Tooth extraction is one of the most common and straightforward dental procedures. Most teeth extractions are done using forceps where teeth are simply loosened by cutting the tooth into sections and then gently removing a piece at a time. For more complex extractions, you may need minor oral surgery. In most cases, your dentist will advise you prior to treatment whether this is required or not.

Like most dental treatments, extractions are performed under local anaesthesia to numb pain in the part of your mouth being treated. If you need to have more than one tooth pulled, we may be able to perform multiple extractions in the same appointment. This depends on the status of your oral health and where the teeth are located in your mouth.

What happens after an extraction?

If you’ve only had local anaesthetic, you will usually be able to drive yourself home following the treatment, however, if you’ve had additional sedation, you will need to arrange transportation following your treatment.

You may feel some pain and discomfort or swelling during the next few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter medication.

You should still brush and floss your teeth as normal from the following day to keep your mouth free from food and bacteria, taking care to brush gently around the gap. We also recommend that you avoid overly hard or crunchy foods, as this may cause discomfort for your exposed gum.

Once your mouth has healed, it is highly recommended that you consider a Dental Implant to replace your missing tooth to prevent issues with the surrounding teeth.
