Sometimes, a Tooth Has to Go
We always aim to save your natural teeth, but in certain cases, removing one may be the healthiest choice. Whether it’s due to advanced decay, gum issues, crowding, or impacted wisdom teeth, extractions can help relieve discomfort and prevent bigger problems down the line.
At Rundle Dental, we focus on making the process smooth, safe, and as comfortable as possible. We’ll explain everything clearly, answer your questions, and provide detailed aftercare to support a healthy recovery.
Are you considering a tooth extraction? We can help. Contact us to schedule your consultation today and learn about exactly what to expect.
Why a Tooth Might Need to Be Removed
Tooth extractions are typically recommended when keeping the tooth could affect your overall oral health. Some common reasons include:
- Severe damage or decay that can’t be repaired
- Advanced gum disease that’s loosened the tooth
- An infection that hasn’t responded to other treatments
- Overcrowding that’s affecting your bite or function
- Wisdom teeth that are impacted or misaligned
Every case is unique, and we’ll walk you through your options before making any decisions.
How Extractions Can Help
While no one likes the idea of losing a tooth, a well-timed extraction can offer several benefits:
- Prevents the spread of infection
- Reduces the risk of damage to neighbouring teeth
- Eases crowding or alignment concerns
- Supports orthodontic or restorative treatment plans
- Relieves pressure and discomfort
We’ll also help you explore tooth replacement options—like implants or bridges—if needed, to keep your smile complete.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth are often the last to show up—and the first to cause trouble. When there isn’t enough space for them to come in properly, they can lead to pain, swelling, or shifting in your other teeth.
If you’re noticing pressure or discomfort in the back of your mouth, we can assess your wisdom teeth and recommend next steps. Whether removal is simple or a little more complex, our team will take good care of you.

What to Expect During Your Procedure
Extractions are typically done under local anesthesia, so you’ll be awake but shouldn’t feel any pain. Once the area is numb, the dentist will carefully remove the tooth. Stitches may be placed if necessary, and we will provide clear aftercare instructions to guide your recovery.
If you have concerns about discomfort, let us know—we offer options to help you stay relaxed during your visit.
Recovery Tips & Aftercare
Most people start to feel better within a few days after a routine extraction. To support proper healing:
- Stick to soft foods for the first few days
- Avoid using straws or smoking
- Follow the care guide we provide
- Contact us if you have any concerns
We’ll be here for follow-ups and to make sure everything’s healing properly.
