Tooth Extraction Newmarket

The cost of tooth extraction in Newmarket varies depending on the complexity of a particular case. However, the prices can go up to $160 per tooth for very complex procedures. Complicated extractions include teeth that are below the surface or broken or impacted. The good news is that our clinic offers payment options for all valued patients who need a tooth extraction in Newmarket. So don’t postpone your treatment due to financial matters.

According to our Newmarket tooth extraction expert, following the preparation tips recommended below can significantly minimize the risk of urgent dental problems during tooth extraction.

• Before the tooth extraction, our Newmarket dentist will take an X-Ray of your tooth.
• Be sure to inform your dentist about the medications, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and supplements you are currently taking. Also, tell your dentist about any pre-existing medical conditions.
• If you have another medical condition, in which case you will soon be treated with an intravenous drug called bisphosphonate, be sure to inform your dentist. In these cases, the extraction should be done before the bisphosphonate drug treatment begins; otherwise, your jaw may be at risk of bone death.
• Do not smoke before the treatment.
• Tell your dentists if you have a cold (you may need to reschedule)
• If you are given general anesthesia, have someone ride you home.

Tooth extractions are classified into two categories:

1. Simple extractions
2. Surgical extractions

Simple extractions involve visible teeth. Local anesthesia numbs the area so you feel only pressure but no pain. The dentist then uses special instruments to loosen and pull the tooth out.

Surgical extractions involve a tooth that is impacted (it has not broken through the gum). In addition to local anesthesia, this procedure may involve intravenous anesthesia, which makes you feel relaxed, and possibly general anesthesia (depending on your medical condition), in which case you will be unconscious throughout the procedure. The surgeon will make a minor incision on the gum and may need to remove some bone around it and cut the tooth into sections to extract it.

Luckily, at Leslie North Dental, we can combine our expertise with modern techniques and strategies to perform both tooth extractions in Newmarket without difficulties.

Usually, it takes a few days to heal from a tooth extraction. If you continue to experience pain or signs of infection after a few days, contact your dentist immediately.

Some tips for a swift recovery are:

1. Immediately after the procedure, apply an ice pack on the cheek area. Hold for 10 minutes at a time.
2. After the dentist applies the gauze, bite down to minimize bleeding and help with the blood clot formation. Keep the gauze in place for 3-4 hours or until it is soaked in blood.
3. For the next 24 hours: Rest and do not jump back into your daily routine, do not rinse your mouth, spit only gently, or use a straw.
4. After 24 hours since extraction: rinse your mouth with a cup of water and a half-teaspoon of salt.
5. Brush and floss teeth as normal, but avoid the extraction area.
6. The day after the procedure, eat soft foods such as pudding, yogurt, and fruit sauce.
7. Slowly bring regular foods into your diet as you continue to heal.

Remember to call our dental clinic if you experience persistent toothaches or uncontrolled bleeding after tooth extraction surgery in Newmarket.
