A tooth extraction removes a tooth when keeping it is not a suitable option or when removal is required as part of a treatment plan. A dental examination helps determine whether extraction is necessary, whether the tooth can be repaired and where treatment should take place. Tooth pain alone does not prove that removal is the right treatment.
Removal may be considered when a tooth is too damaged to restore, has lost substantial support or cannot be predictably treated. It may also form part of another planned treatment.
The dentist considers the tooth, surrounding tissues, health history and available alternatives.
For significant pain or swelling, review emergency dental care.
Depending on the findings, alternatives may include a filling, crown or treatment inside the tooth. The dentist should explain why a tooth-saving option is or is not appropriate.
Root canal treatment may be considered for a restorable tooth with an inflamed or infected pulp.
A dental crown in Regina may help protect selected teeth with substantial remaining structure.

X-rays may be needed to assess the tooth and nearby structures. If the case is more complex, referral may be appropriate.

The tooth’s position and complexity determine where treatment should take place. Some cases may require an oral surgeon. Confirm available services after assessment.
