​Fractured or chipped teeth are one of the most common dental problems that can occur. They can even occur in healthy individuals who practice great dental hygiene. However, since they’re very common, there are lots of proven methods to fix fractured teeth.

Wisdom Teeth, also known as ‘Third Molars’ are often extracted (removed) because they are causing pain, swelling and/or infection. The extraction of wisdom teeth can also be recommended because of the risk of future complications related to impaction, infection, or other pathologies such as cysts and tumors.

A dental extraction, also known as ‘tooth pulling’, or ‘tooth removal’, may be necessary due to unrestorable fractures, dental decay, or infections. Dental extractions can be routine or surgical in nature. Adult Permanent Teeth have roots that were designed to help keep them attached to the bone and gums. Depending on the root anatomy, bone density, tooth position, and other factors, the tooth (or teeth) may be difficult to extract.

• Pericoronitis – inflammation of the surrounding gum tissue caused by a bacterial infection.
• Cyst formation – can destroy bone and tissue in jaw.
• Cleaning and shaping – this involves the physical shaping of each canal with specialized instruments such as endodontic files, and the chemical disinfection of the canal(s).
• Decay – wisdom teeth that are crowding other molars can cause decay due to higher plaque retention.
• Crowding of other teeth – wisdom teeth eruption can cause unwanted movement of other teeth, making these teeth crooked.
• Lockjaw – also known as “Trismus” can also occur in relation to wisdom teeth eruption or impaction. Other jaw pain, or headaches have been associated with wisdom teeth.
• Infections of the jaw – serious jaw infections can develop in association with wisdom teeth.

There are a few dental issues that can qualify as an emergency. The biggest indicator of a dental emergency is severe pain in the gums or teeth. Pain is subjective to the individual, so if it feels to you like an emergency, calling us costs nothing.

• Gums that continue to bleed
• Jaw injuries, that include dislocation or possible fractures
• Severe sensitivity of the tooth
• A persistent throbbing toothache

Knocked out teeth also qualify as an emergency, if you are wondering what to do in emergency situations such as knocked out teeth
