What your dentist reviews
The dental side determines how the tooth is likely to come out.
- The tooth’s position, root shape and surrounding bone.
- How much of the tooth is visible above the gum.
- Why removal is being considered at all.

Extractions and Your Medical History: For Mandalay West Patients
If you take regular medication or see a physician for an ongoing condition, a recommended extraction can raise extra questions. Mandalay West residents in this situation may wonder whether their health changes anything, and whether they should mention things that seem unrelated to teeth.
Please do mention them. Reviewing your health history, medications and allergies is a standard part of planning an extraction at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street, and your overall health can affect recovery. If you are unsure whether something matters, it is still worth bringing up, and your dentist can explain how it applies to you.

Share the whole list
Include prescriptions, over-the-counter products and supplements, even those you only use occasionally.
Name your allergies
Reactions to any medication or dental material are important for your dentist to know.
Ask, do not assume
Raise any questions about your medications before treatment, not on the morning of the visit.
Why we ask so much
Your chart and your X-ray work together.
The X-ray shows the tooth and the bone around it, while your history tells your dentist about the person attached to them. An extraction plan draws on both.
What only you can supply
Your medical information fills in what no dental image can reveal.
- Every medication you use and how often you take it.
- Conditions you are being treated or monitored for.
- Recent changes in your health or prescriptions.
This page cannot tell you how your particular medication or condition affects an extraction. Ask the clinic before your visit, and do not assume the answer either way.
On the day
A health check-in opens the appointment.
Before anything else, the details from your medical history are confirmed. After that, the extraction moves through its usual stages, adjusted to suit the tooth.
Request your visit- 01
Confirm your health details
Your medical history, current medications, allergies and X-rays are reviewed, and the tooth to be removed is verified.
- 02
Apply the anesthetic
Local anesthetic numbs the treatment area, and you can say how you feel before removal gets started.
- 03
Free the tooth
The dentist loosens and removes it. If the tooth cannot come out predictably with a simple approach, a small incision or sectioning may be used.
- 04
Control the bleeding
The site is cleaned and gauze or sutures are placed as appropriate. Your written instructions include which symptoms should prompt a call.
Organize your information
One page can save a lot of guessing.
Remembering every dose from memory is hard, particularly when you are feeling anxious. A short written summary travels well and keeps anything important from being overlooked.
If your physician has told you something relevant about dental treatment, pass it along. Questions about your medication should be asked ahead of time, and the instructions you are given should be followed.
Include on your summary
- Each medication, with its dose and how often you take it.
- Vitamins, herbal products and pain relievers you use regularly.
- Known allergies and what happened when you reacted.
- The conditions you are being treated for.
- Your physician’s name and contact details.

Questions welcome
No health question is too small to raise.
People sometimes hold back because a detail seems unimportant or feels private. Your dentist asks in order to plan your care, so give as much information as you can.
Update us on changes
A new prescription or diagnosis since your last visit is worth mentioning, even if it seems minor.
Speak up in the chair
Tell your dentist straight away if you feel unwell or uncomfortable at any point in treatment.
Request clear wording
If an instruction or medical term is not clear, ask to have it explained in everyday language.
Healing your way
Your recovery may not match someone else’s.
Healing varies with the procedure and your general health, so the directions written for you matter more than anything a friend went through. Minor oozing, some swelling and soreness can occur, and these should settle over time.
01
Follow your own sheet
If you are unsure how your written instructions fit with your medication routine, call and ask instead of guessing.
02
Soft and gentle eating
Choose soft, cool or lukewarm meals, chewing on the far side and leaving the socket undisturbed.
03
When to reach out
Call the clinic about bleeding that keeps going under directed pressure, numbness outside the expected course, or pain, swelling, fever or drainage that worsens.
Difficulty with breathing or swallowing requires emergency medical care at once.

Should I stop my medication before the extraction?
Do not make that decision on your own from a web page. Contact the clinic before your appointment, tell them what you take, and ask what applies to you.
Does my health condition affect how I heal?
General health is one of the things that can influence recovery. Tell your dentist about your condition so the guidance you receive takes it into account.
Do supplements really need to go on my list?
Yes, please include them. Your dentist can decide what is relevant, and a complete list is more useful than one that has been filtered in advance.
I am allergic to a medication. What should I do?
Write down the name and what the reaction was, then tell the clinic when you book and again at your visit. Allergies are confirmed before an extraction begins.
What if my medication list changes before my visit?
Bring the updated version, and call ahead if you would like to ask whether the change matters. The review at the start of your appointment is another chance to mention it.
