Extractions and Surgical Extractions at Simply Dental in Los Algodones Mexico

Some teeth that are heavily decayed or badly broken down cannot be saved.  This is also true for some teeth that are surrounded by advanced gum disease, so much so that the tooth is lose beyond repair.  If these teeth are left in place then further problems can occur, like pain, infection, abscesses, and the spread of gum disease.  Hence they need to be extracted to prevent such problems.  Some of these teeth that require extraction are either broken at gum level, or already were below the level of the gum.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Many people require removal of their wisdom teeth, as there is not enough room in the jaws to allow them to come through normally.  When this is the case, the teeth sometimes start to come through the gum on their sides, and hence some of the tooth is visible poking through the gum.  In other cases, the wisdom teeth remain buried below the gum entirely.  In many of the above cases, these wisdom teeth cause pain and infections as when they are below the gum, we cannot keep them clean and hence it is common that food gets trapped around them and infections can develop.  Not all people who have wisdom teeth buried in the gum require them to be removed.  This is discussed on an individual basis, following a clinical and radiographic (x-ray) exam.

The wisdom teeth are only removed when it is felt that there will be an obvious benefit to the patient in doing so.  Such benefits would include preventing pain, decay and infection that are already present or such symptoms that appear to be developing.
