Dentists and oral surgeons perform tooth extractions for many reasons. The issue may be a painful wisdom tooth or a tooth that has been badly damaged by decay. In some cases, a dentist will remove a tooth to make space for dental prosthetics or braces.
We are equipped with digital radiography. Digital radiography utilizes much less radiation than conventional/old school radiography. We always ensure safe radiography precautions such as use of lead aprons, thyroid collars and utilization of the lowest amount of radiation necessaryto obtain diagnostic images.
Due to the anti-cavity property of fluoride, American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) encourages the application of professional fluoride treatments for all children at risk for dental caries. We use fluoride gel and fluoride varnish for topical application after a dental cleaning during every recall visit. Frequency may vary depending on age and the patients cavity risk.
Approximately 90% of all cavities start on the biting surfaces of the permanent molar teeth. Dental sealant is a resin material which is applied and cured on the biting surfaces of the molars in order to prevent the food and plaque from depositing in the grooves and fissures of the molars.
Removal of teeth could be required in several situations such as extensively decayed teeth that are non-restorable; teeth associated with infection (abscess); teeth that are over retained and those requiring removal for orthodontic reasons.
