Safe and Comfortable Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth (the third molars) are the last teeth to erupt, usually appearing in your late teens or early twenties. Unfortunately, most jaws do not have enough room to accommodate them, leading to pain, infection, or crowding. At Canary Dental in Surrey, we provide expert Wisdom Tooth Extractions in a calm, controlled environment.

Signs You Might Need an Extraction

Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed, but you should schedule an evaluation if you experience any of the following symptoms:

• Severe Pain or Throbbing: At the back of your mouth.
• Swollen, Red, or Bleeding Gums: Around the eruption site.
• Jaw Stiffness: Difficulty opening your mouth or chewing.
• Bad Breath or Bad Taste: Caused by bacteria trapped around a partially erupted tooth.

Our Extraction Process

We understand that oral surgery can be intimidating. Our priority is your comfort and safety.

1. Digital X-Rays: We take a panoramic X-ray to see the exact position of the tooth roots relative to your nerves.
2. Anesthesia: We use strong local anesthesia so you feel no pain during the procedure—only pressure. (Ask us about sedation options if you are anxious).
3. Gentle Removal: The tooth is carefully extracted. If it is impacted (stuck under the gum), a small incision may be made.
4. Aftercare Instructions: We provide you with detailed instructions and a care package to ensure rapid healing and prevent dry socket.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I eat after having a tooth pulled?

Stick to soft, cool foods for the first 24-48 hours. Yogurt, applesauce, mashed potatoes, and smoothies are excellent. Avoid using a straw, as the suction can dislodge the blood clot and cause a painful condition called dry socket.

Is tooth extraction covered by the CDCP?

Yes, standard and complicated tooth extractions are generally covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). Pre-authorization may be required for severe impactions, which our front desk will handle for you.
