EXTRACTIONS

 


In modern minimally-invasive dentistry, the extraction of teeth is less common than it used to be. Where possible, we would always look to preserve your natural teeth. The Hempstead Dental is conveniently located near to the 641 10th St, Hempstead. We also provide various dental services in the nearby cities of Waller and Belleville  is the  low cost dental office by me. .There are, however, still instances when an extraction is clinically necessary, or when an extraction may be recommended by your dentist:

  • A tooth is impacted and can’t erupt, causing problems (common with wisdom teeth)
  • A tooth is badly damaged or infected and is not salvageable
  • Your teeth are overcrowded and the extraction of one (or more) teeth will aid orthodontic treatment to correct them
  • Your overall health is at risk from an infected tooth

WISDOM TEETH

Wisdom teeth are vestigial and entirely unnecessary in our modern diets. Because our jaws no longer grow to a suitable length to comfortably accommodate our wisdom teeth, it is common for them to fail to erupt and become impacted, often damaging adjacent teeth. These teeth inevitably need to be removed to prevent further damage and infection.

HOW IS AN EXTRACTION PERFORMED?

It will depend on how complex it is to remove. Your dentist will perform an X-ray of your jaw to determine whether your tooth can be removed easily or not. In simple cases, your dentist can remove the wisdom tooth quickly under local anaesthetic. In more difficult cases (such as when the tooth has a complex root formation), you may need a surgical procedure to remove the tooth. This would be carried out by our principal dentist Dr Jonathon Cochrane, who performs our most advanced oral surgery procedures.

DOES AN EXTRACTION HURT?

No. With local anaesthetics and numbing agents, the most you will feel will be an odd sensation as the tooth is manipulated out of its socket. Sometimes a tooth may need to be carefully divided into smaller pieces to be removed but again, this will not cause you any pain.

Root Canal Treatment Is Not More Painful With Hempstead dental.

Image
" Root canal " is actually a natural cavity within the center of the tooth. The tooth's nerve lies within the root canal. When a tooth is severely decayed or broken and bacteria has invaded the tooth, deeply damaging the nerve inside, then we recommend a root canal treatment to save your tooth. Usually, the problem is manifested outwardly as a severe toothache, dental abscesses on the gums or radiolucency on your tooth’s x-ray image. A root canal therapy is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it and then filling and sealing it. No need to think about the 'low-cost dental clinic near me' as in Hempstead Dental , we offer high-quality root canal treatments at low prices. The treatment is painless, as it is carried out under local anesthesia. Our highly experienced Root Canal Specialists perform the procedure efficiently. Hempstea...
