Why Would You Get A Tooth Extraction?

Why Would You Get A Tooth Extraction?

While getting a tooth removed is not always pleasant, our top Lakeland doctors may determine a tooth extraction is necessary to restore your healthy smile. Here are some reasons our team may recommend extraction:

Periodontal Disease

Ideally, our team will be able to save help stop tooth decay with deep cleanings, fillings, or root canals with crowns, sometimes the progress of gum disease can make it so a tooth can unfortunately not be saved. If you are experiencing pain when you eat or bleeding gums, schedule an exam and our team can determine if you are experiencing periodontal disease, and if so, how far along it is.

Impacted teeth

Impacted or misaligned teeth are commonly associated with wisdom teeth removal, but the term simply refers to a tooth that has not fully “erupted” from the gums. This doesn’t just happen to wisdom teeth (also called third molars)- your teeth could also be suffering from overcrowding or coming in at a strange angle. Our team at Lakeland can help identity impacted teeth and recommend a treatment plan. 

Injury/Trauma

A fall, some kind of accident, or something as seemingly simple as biting down too hard can cause a fractured or cracked tooth. It may need to be removed if the damage is beyond a certain point. Pease note: If you have a broken jaw or excessive bleeding, please contact 911!

What are the benefits of Tooth Extractions?

What are the benefits of Tooth Extractions?

Even if you’re in pain, we realize concern over procedure pain may have made you delay getting your tooth extraction At Lakeland, we will ensure your tooth removal is as painless as possible. On top of that, here are the benefits from tooth extraction:

Pain relief

In many instances, an extraction means relief from tooth pain. Whether it’s from trauma, decay, or something else, you will be free from the pain of the tooth once it is removed.

Protect other teeth

A tooth extraction helps stop damage, decay, and infection from spreading, and even eliminate bacteria. If needed, our doctors will ensure you take an antibiotic to aid this process.

Preventative

A dentist may recommend a tooth extraction before you are even experiencing pain as a precautionary measure, such as when there is not enough space for wisdom teeth to grow in.

Room for a new smile

Pain or infections aren’t the only reason to get a tooth extracted. If you are missing some teeth already and considering implants or dentures, a tooth extraction can make room for your new, stronger smile.

You may need to get one or multiple teeth extracted before getting orthodontic treatment such as braces to repair crooked or misaligned teeth. This step will get you that much closer to a straighter smile.

No interventions are required to maintain a patent airway, and spontaneous ventilation is adequate. Cardiovascular function is usually maintained.

Oral Cancer Screening

The inside of the mouth is normally lined with a special type of skin (mucosa) that is smooth and coral pink in color. Any alteration in this appearance could be a warning sign for a pathological process. The most serious of these is oral cancer.

We recommend performing an oral cancer self-examination monthly and remember that your mouth is one of your body’s most important warning systems. Do not ignore suspicious lumps or sores.

Laser Assisted Periodontal Disease Treatment

LANAP™ is a gentle, conservative, non-invasive method of treating gum disease without cutting, suturing or removing tissue. Using a precision laser, the Doctor is able to kill up to 99% of the disease-causing bacteria in the periodontal pockets. Because there is no defense against the laser, the bacteria can not adapt and avoid elimination as with antibiotic treatment.

Periodontal Disease Treatment

Periodontal disease is an infection caused by the bacteria found in plaque, the thin biofilm that constantly forms around our teeth. In response to these bacteria, our immune system produces toxins. Unfortunately, these toxins also target our gums and other supportive tissues, resulting in the infection known as periodontal disease. Without treatment, periodontal disease can have serious consequences for your oral health.

Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling is a [non-surgical] deep cleaning measure that includes removing plaque from above and below the gumline. The root is also smoothened through planing to allow the tissue to heal and reattach itself to the tooth. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the targeted area and make the procedure much more comfortable. Antibiotics may be recommended as a means of controlling the toxic bacteria from spreading further that cause periodontitis.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting can repair implant sites with inadequate bone structure due to previous extractions, gum disease or injuries. The bone is either obtained from a tissue bank or your own bone is taken from the jaw, hip or tibia (below the knee). Sinus bone grafts are also performed to replace bone in the posterior upper jaw.

TMJ Treatment

The terms TMJ and TMD are often used interchangeably, but they aren’t the same thing. The TMJ is the jaw joint, and a TMD is a problem with the joint.

Dental Implants

Do you have a missing tooth? We understand how this can make your feel. We believe that everyone should be able to achieve their best smile. Smiles On Florida Implant Dentistry in Lakeland, FL is the right place to get your dental implants!

Invisalign and Clear Braces

Clear aligners are made from transparent materials that adjust your teeth without the “hardware” traditionally associated with braces.

Routine and Deep Cleaning

There are two parts to your Smiles on Florida visit – examination and cleaning. Your exam will check for cavities, plaque, and tartar on your teeth.

Dental Crowns

Decay or trauma can cause loss of tooth structure and can compromise function as well as aesthetics. Extensive loss of tooth structure can best be replaced with a restoration that covers your entire tooth as in a crown. This “full coverage” restoration can strengthen your tooth and in the hands of an expert can provide a long lasting esthetic and functional result.

Dentures and Partials

We know that life with dentures and partials can be both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it's important to remove teeth that are painful, broken down and infected, yet on the other hand, improperly made dentures used to replace those missing or extracted teeth can make eating, drinking and speaking very difficult.

Tooth Colored Fillings

A toothache can disrupt your life. Tooth decay, cracked teeth, and cavities will provide a constant and painful reminder. At Smiles on Florida we have completed thousands of fillings.

Veneers

A wafer-thin glass shells that can be bonded to the front of your teeth to mask their shape, color, or size. The highest quality veneers are made individually by hand and are hard to distinguish from natural teeth. veneers can be used to remarkably transform the smile of patients who have worn, chipped, or discolored teeth. Slightly crooked teeth can be straightened as well. Hand-made porcelain veneers are typically very translucent and when bonded to your teeth they are very lifelike.

Periodontal Therapy

We specialize in a wide variety of procedures designed to maintain or improve your periodontal tissues. The periodontal (gum) tissues are an important part of your oral health. Our experience and expertise in periodontics allows us to provide high-quality treatments you cannot find anywhere else!
