Do I need a dental extraction?

Ai-je besoin d’une extraction dentaire ?
It can be hard to get used to the idea of losing a tooth. However, it can sometimes be the best choice, particularly in the following cases: 
  • Deep tooth decay that had irreversibly damaged the tooth;
  • Periodontal disease that has damaged the tissues supporting the teeth, including the jawbone;
  • The tooth is broken and the fracture is too deep to repair;
  • To prepare for orthodontic treatment, it is sometimes necessary to extract teeth to create enough space for the rest of the dentition to align properly.

In all cases, your dentist in Outremont will give you a thorough examination to determine whether extraction is the best solution. You can be sure of one thing: in dentistry, professionals always give priority to maintaining natural dentition whenever possible. If your dentist recommends tooth extraction, It is because it is essential to your oral health and the prevention of complications. 

Your dentist will discuss the procedure with you and explain in detail how to care for your mouth before, during and after the operation.

How does tooth extraction work?

Your dental surgeon follows a rigorous process, which is outlined below.
1.
Preparation
your professional will take a thorough dental and medical history, and use accurate X-rays to determine the best way to proceed. X-rays can tell you how difficult it will be to extract the tooth.
2.
Anesthesia
a local anesthetic is administered to numb the nerve of the tooth to be extracted.
3.
Surgery
for a simple extraction, the dentist first moves the tooth to dislodge the roots from their socket. The tooth is then extracted, the  and then the site is disinfected and closed with stitches.
4.
Post-operative advice
your dental surgeon will advise you on how to care for your mouth following extraction and will arrange a follow-up appointment if necessary.
