Dental Tooth Extractions

In-House Tooth Extractions
Occasionally, a tooth cannot be saved by typical treatments and must be extracted. Examples include impacted third molars or extensive infections or damage to the tooth. Leaving the tooth intact would only create other problems.

We perform almost all extractions here in our office. No need to be inconvenienced and referred to another doctor. You can be assured of our skills and caring nature to take care of the problem.

Best and Worst Halloween Candy Options for Children’s Teeth

Halloween is just around the corner, and although candy consumption is almost unavoidable this time of year, the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) wants parents and children to know that there are both good and bad candy options, both of which may find their way into children's trick-or-treat bags this fall. 
  
"Of course, dentists do not advocate that children eat large amounts of sugary treats, but it is that time of year, so we want to clarify for parents which treats are better for their kids' teeth and which ones may increase the risk of developing cavities," says AGD spokesperson Cynthia Sherwood, DDS, FAGD.

When Should My Child First See a Dentist?

Your child's first visit to the dentist should happen before his or her first birthday. The general rule is six months after eruption of the first tooth. Taking your child to the dentist at a young age is the best way to prevent problems such as tooth decay, and can help parents learn how to clean their child's teeth and identify his or her fluoride needs. After all, decay can occur as soon as teeth appear. Bringing your child to the dentist early often leads to a lifetime of good oral care habits and acclimates your child to the dental office, thereby reducing anxiety and fear, which will make for plenty of stress-free visits in the future.

Third Molar Dental Extractions

Extracting Third Molars
Third molars, commonly referred to as wisdom teeth, start to grow in later years, usually 17 to 25. They appear at the very back of your dental arch, one on each side of both the upper and lower jaws. They often crowd other teeth and do not have sufficient room to grow in properly. There are a range of problems that result from wisdom teeth impaction, which means the teeth do not grow upward and straight. They cause other teeth to twist and turn, cavities can easily develop in these teeth, and a jaw bone infection can occur. We recommend having wisdom teeth removed early in life, before problems occur in the jaw and teeth.
