Tooth Extraction in Malton, Mississauga – Gentle & Comfortable
Sometimes a tooth needs to be removed to protect your overall oral health. At Bansal Family Dentistry in Malton, we perform gentle tooth extractions with a focus on your comfort. We’ll make sure you’re fully numb and at ease before we begin.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
- Severe decay — when a tooth is too damaged to save with a filling or crown
- Advanced gum disease — when bone loss has made a tooth loose
- Crowding — to make room for orthodontic treatment
- Broken tooth — when the break extends below the gum line
- Infection — when an abscess cannot be resolved with root canal treatment
- Wisdom teeth — impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
What to Expect During Your Extraction
- We apply local anaesthetic — the area will be completely numb
- We gently loosen and remove the tooth
- Most simple extractions take only 20–40 minutes
- We’ll review aftercare instructions before you leave
After Your Extraction – Recovery Tips
- Bite gently on the gauze for 30–45 minutes to stop bleeding
- Avoid rinsing vigorously for 24 hours
- Eat soft foods for 1–2 days
- Avoid smoking and straws (can dislodge the blood clot)
- Take over-the-counter pain relief as needed
- Call us immediately if you experience severe pain after day 3 (possible dry socket)

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a tooth extraction hurt?
With local anaesthetic, you should not feel pain during the extraction — only pressure. We always ensure you’re comfortable before we begin. Post-procedure soreness is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long does healing take?
Most extraction sites heal within 1–2 weeks. The initial clot forms within 24 hours — the most important healing phase.
What replaces the missing tooth?
We can discuss options such as dentures or dental bridges to restore your smile after extraction.
