Visiting a Mississauga area dentist for tooth extraction
Patients in the Mississauga area who believe they may need
to visit a dentist for tooth extraction are encouraged to speak to the
team at Dentistry on 10. Our professionals provide comprehensive,
quality dental services from general dentistry to restorative dentistry.
We know that there are times in which teeth may need to be extracted –
especially wisdom teeth.
Wisdom teeth, known as the “third molars,” are teeth that
erupt through the gum line at the back of the mouth typically in the
late teen years or early adulthood. They often cause many problems. The
can become impacted, unable to erupt through the gum line, resulting in
extreme pain. Even if they do erupt through into the dental arch, they
can increase the risk of developing periodontal disease or experiencing
dental decay because they can be difficult to brush and floss. Some
patients who have gone through extensive orthodontic work may want to
avoid having their wisdom teeth come through as it can affect the
alignment of their smiles and require additional services. All of these
are reasons patients may consider seeing a dentist for wisdom tooth
extraction.
Wisdom teeth are not necessary, and can be removed without
replacement. It is common for these teeth to be extracted, especially
before they become an issue. Dr. Rina Kotecha and her team of
professionals may advise patients to have their wisdom teeth removed
before they erupt in order to avoid a wide range of issues. This
recommendation will only be made if patients have had an extensive
evaluation with the team at Dentistry on 10.
If you live in or around the Mississauga area and want to
find out about the benefits of tooth extraction, contact Dr. Rina
Kotecha today. She can speak to patients about why tooth extraction may
be suggested. This may include wisdom teeth or other teeth within the
dental arch. At Dentistry on 10, we can perform both simple extractions
of erupted teeth and surgical extractions for teeth that are still
underneath the gum line and are expected to become problematic.
