Tooth Extractions and Wisdom Tooth Removal from an Edmonton Dentist

If you suffer from gum disease, tooth extraction may be necessary. Count on Millcreek Dental Care’s years of experience treating patients in Edmonton. Together, we’ll discuss your options and chart the best course forward. If a tooth must be removed, the dentist will give you a local anesthetic and then remove the tooth carefully.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth are molars that typically develop between the late teens and early 20s. They can result in overcrowding of teeth and infection, and most individuals need them removed. Early treatment is important, as overcrowding can result in the need for orthodontic procedures down the road.

Post-Extraction Care

After getting a tooth (or teeth extracted) we want to help you enjoy a speedy recovery. Follow these simple guidelines to help your mouth heal following extraction:

• Gently rinse rather than brushing or flossing the area
• Avoid activities that put strain or tension on stitches
• Follow your dentist’s dietary instructions
• Ask your dentist about pain management
• Avoid smoking

Options for Filling in Your Smile

In addition to providing tooth removal, we provide treatment options to return your smile to its previous lustre. Once the tooth has been removed, it can be replaced with an implant, denture or bridge. We know how important it is to feel happy with the appearance of your teeth. Visit us at Millcreek Dental Care and smile with confidence!
