Broken Tooth Removal
Patients break teeth playing sports, in accidents, biting into hard foods, or due to dental decay. In some cases, we’re able to salvage remaining dental structure by placing a crown, but when damage is severe, extraction may be necessary. Unlike removing a whole tooth, extracting a broken tooth is more challenging because we must ensure additional trauma to surrounding teeth and gum tissue is resolved and remove numerous broken parts of teeth.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
The most commonly extracted teeth are third molars, wisdom teeth. This tertiary set of molars erupts during the late teens and early twenties. The late development results in many oral health concerns including impacted teeth that are unable to erupt, crowding or lack of space in the jaw, and potential damage to previous orthodontic treatments. We recommend wisdom tooth examination around the age of 12. At this time, an x-ray usually shows the developing teeth allowing us to begin planning appropriate treatment.
Biopsies
There is estimated to be one death every hour caused by oral cancer, and most patients diagnosed with the disease don’t live more than five years. According to the oral cancer foundation, the best way to reduce deaths from oral cancer is to diagnose the disease in its early stages. At our San Antonio dental practice, oral cancer screenings are part of every six-month checkup. If we notice areas of concern during these screenings, we are able to perform biopsies in our office. By eliminating the need for additional appointments with specialists, we are able to diagnose and treat oral cancer more quickly.
Sedation Options
For patients who experience anxiety or are in need of a more complex procedure, sedation dentistry is a great way to stay relaxed during treatment. Sedation also provides patients with decreased sensitivity throughout their procedures for a more comfortable overall experience. If you’re interested in finding out more about sedation dentistry and how it can improve your dental care experience, don’t hesitate to ask our team during your next visit, or contact our friendly team with any questions.
