Dental Extractions
Sometimes a tooth doesn’t need to be extracted, but it does need a little help. Impacted teeth can be brought out from where they are stuck under the gums through a procedure called an expose and bond. Here, surgery is done to put a bracket on the tooth, which will allow it to be pulled into place over time.
When a tooth does need to be taken out, you don’t want to leave the task to just anyone. What’s more, you can’t afford to put it off, as it may pose a threat to the surrounding teeth or your health in general.
The most common teeth to be extracted are your Wisdom Teeth. The last to come in, your molars may not have enough room — which can cause a variety of problems. They won’t just misalign other teeth, they can cause a great deal of discomfort and even impact your bite. In certain cases where they are fully or partially impacted, they can leave you vulnerable to infection, tumors, and cysts.
