ORAL SURGERY
Extracting a tooth is usually a last resort, if the tooth can’t be saved using endodontic therapy (root canal). There are a couple different reasons why a tooth may need to be extracted. One of these, is if a tooth has a large cavity in it, or a tooth is broken down below the level of the bone. In this case, the tooth will need to be extracted due to tooth being deemed non-restorable. The other instance in which a tooth would need to be extracted, is if periodontal disease has progressed to the point where there is extensive bone loss surrounding the tooth and it has become mobile. If a tooth does need to be extracted, we will explain all of the options to you for replacement of the missing tooth. If a tooth is extracted and not replaced, it can cause some of the neighboring teeth to start shifting, so it’s important to consider replacement at the time of extraction.
PERIODONTAL TREATMENT
At your initial exam and at every recall appointment we are evaluating your mouth for periodontal disease. We do this with a combination of radiographs (X-rays), clinical examination, and taking measurements around all of your teeth. We measure 6 different spots around each tooth to monitor for bone loss. Bone loss occurs from calculus (tartar) build-up sitting on your teeth below your gum line. Daily brushing and flossing helps to prevent calculus build-up, therefore preventing periodontal disease.
