Remove Teeth Causing You Pain & Discomfort With Extractions


Struggling with sharp pressure and pain can leave you feeling constantly uncomfortable and hiding your smile from the world. When these issues start occurring, it’s important to take action and reach out to our dentist in Thunder Bay, ON, to see if these teeth need to be extracted to safeguard your beautiful smile!

What Oral Health Issues Can Extractions Address?

Extracting a tooth can sometimes be integral to protecting your oral well-being and overall health. This service may help solve:

  • Severe Tooth Decay: Say your tooth has become extremely decayed so that no filling or crown can restore it; that’s where extractions come in. This preventive service can help prevent the spread of infection to surrounding healthy gums and teeth.
  • Impacted Wisdom Teeth: When your third molar grows awkwardly, it may become impacted, which can lead to pain, misalignment, and discomfort. Removing impacted teeth is designed to prevent these complications.
  • Broken Or Cracked Teeth: If your tooth is so severely fractured that it's beyond mending or completely broken, the solution may be a dental extraction. When broken or cracked teeth are irreparable and are not removed, they can lead to infection and damage.
  • Baby Teeth That Won’t Fall Out: Baby teeth can sometimes neglect to fall out on their own, which may interfere with the proper emergence of permanent teeth. The healthy development of adult teeth can often be ensured by extracting these stubborn baby teeth.

How Can Patients Care For Their Smiles After Treatment?

  • Maintain Cleanliness in the Affected Area: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water, which can maintain cleanliness in the extracted area and initiate healing.
  • Avoid Hard Foods: Eat a diet rich in soft foods and avoid biting on the affected area. This may stop irritation in its tracks and help heal the extraction site.
  • Avoid Using Straws: You should not sip your beverages with straws for 24 hours after the procedure.
  • Follow Prescribed Pain Relief Routine: If our dentist prescribes painkillers or suggests any OTC medications, ensure you’re taking them as directed as a way to help manage discomfort.
  • Rest and Relax: For a few days after the extraction, allow your mouth time to heal by resting and avoiding strenuous activities.

When tooth pain and discomfort start, don’t hesitate or wait it out when an extraction can solve these issues swiftly and help you smile without issue again. Schedule your consultation with Sky Dental today!
