A throbbing tooth can wear down your patience. If you are ready to have it out, phone our McPhillips Street clinic and describe what is going on.
Let's find a time
After nights of poor sleep and meals eaten on one side, removing the tooth can seem like the obvious fix. It may well turn out to be the right call. Even so, your dentist has to find the source of the pain first, because the tooth that aches is not always the only thing wrong, and removal cannot be undone.
If you live in Scotia Heights, you would be seen at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg. An examination and X-ray show whether the tooth can be restored, treated from the inside or should come out. We know you want relief, and you can tell us plainly that extraction is what you have in mind.

With pain or swelling, a call to (204) 338-3003 is the better way to reach us than an online form.
Looking at the tooth and an X-ray helps make sure the treatment matches the actual problem.
State your preference openly. Your view counts in the decision alongside the clinical findings.
It might feel like one more delay, but this step is how your dentist confirms what is causing the trouble and which treatment actually addresses it.
Pain has several possible sources, and each can point to a different course of care.
Your own description is valuable, since an X-ray does not capture how a tooth has been behaving.
If keeping the tooth is possible, you will hear about it. The choice can still be discussed from there, with the reasons for and against set out.
Depending on where the tooth sits, its roots, the bone and how much of it is showing, the technique may vary. Here is the general order of events.
Request your visitEven when you are hurting, we go through your medications, allergies, history and X-ray, and verify the tooth.
Local anesthetic is given, and your comfort gets checked prior to any work on the tooth.
Your dentist works the tooth loose and takes it out, adding an incision or sectioning if the situation requires.
Bleeding is brought under control, gauze or sutures are placed where appropriate, and your written instructions explain what comes next.
When you are in pain, details are easy to forget. Jot down what you have noticed, and include anything you have been taking for the discomfort so it can be reviewed.
Pain does not leave much patience for paperwork, but it still helps to have your insurance or CDCP details with you. Ask about an estimate, as costs depend on your plan and on the care you need.
Dental chair in a treatment room, and chairs by the waiting-room window.
A tooth that has been hurting for a while can leave you short on sleep and on edge. Tell us how you are coping, and how sore the area has been, before we start.
Your dentist can take that into account while confirming the area is numb.
Do not wait to see whether a twinge passes. Let your dentist know right then, while treatment is under way.
Some soreness can follow removal, so ask what you should expect in your situation and how to manage it.
Once the ache is behind you
It is normal to have some tenderness, swelling and a little oozing in the first stretch. What you are watching for is steady improvement, so a change for the worse is worth a call.
You may feel like catching up on everything now the worst is over. Give your body some quiet time right after the procedure instead.
Losing it may lead to dry socket, a painful inflammation, so follow your directions on smoking, straws, rinsing and cleaning.
Once you feel better, come back to whether replacing the tooth is worthwhile. Your bite and remaining teeth will inform that talk.
Let the clinic know about pain that becomes much worse after a few days, bleeding that keeps going despite pressure, increasing swelling, fever, drainage, a bad taste or numbness outside what you were told to expect. Any difficulty breathing or swallowing needs emergency medical care.

Helpful details about tooth extractions in Scotia Heights.
Ask our teamYou can certainly say that is what you want. Your dentist still needs to examine the tooth and review an X-ray, so you understand the options before you agree to a permanent step.
Tell your dentist how painful the area has been, because comfort is checked before the procedure begins. If you feel anything sharp, speak up so it can be dealt with.
That depends on the cause, and it is not the only possibility. Root canal therapy may deal with an inflamed or infected pulp in a tooth that can be restored, so ask how the options compare for you.
Phone us and explain how it has changed. If swelling comes with difficulty breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care without delay.
No one can promise that, and some soreness is common during early healing. Tell the clinic if discomfort is more severe than you were led to expect or starts getting worse.
Telephone (204) 338-3003 and explain your symptoms, as the online form is better suited to non-urgent requests. Any care would take place at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Depending on what is found, one of these treatments may be raised alongside or in place of an extraction.
