During your initial consultation, our dental professional will walk you through the treatment plan and provide information on what needs to be done before and after the oral surgery.

A treatment consent form will also be provided which details the reasons for the treatment, risks associated with the treatment, and risks of not getting the treatment done.

Once agreed, a detailed pre-operative procedure will be given to ensure the smoothest possible outcome.

After the procedure, you and your support person (if you brought one) will be informed of the post-operative procedures to reduce the risk of complications that could pro-long the healing process.

Most people dread the idea of having their teeth pulled out. Before resorting to extracting a tooth, the dentist will always explore options to save the tooth first. Sometimes extraction is the only option because leaving the tooth in question in the mouth could pose an array of other serious problems.

So, when do you really need to have your tooth extracted?

Decay
The most common reason a dentist would recommend a tooth extraction is when a tooth can no longer be saved due to decay. Plaque build-up causes tooth decay, and the bacteria produced can cause infection. When the infection becomes severe and root canal treatment can no longer save it, tooth extraction may be needed to prevent the infection from spreading further.

Gum Disease
If detected early, gum disease is easy to treat, but if it does not receive timely treatment, it can worsen. This can lead to severe damage to your gum tissue, causing your tooth to become loose and need to be extracted.

Overcrowding
If you undergo orthodontic treatment, tooth extraction may be recommended, especially if your teeth have no space to move or realign due to overcrowding. This is usually the case for those with larger teeth in a small jaw, which contributes to unwanted crowding.

Impacted Tooth
A tooth is impacted when it is blocked from coming out, usually due to not having enough room to grow upright, so it grows inward towards the rest of the teeth. This is usually the case for wisdom teeth. You may be recommended to extract your wisdom teeth to prevent damage to your other teeth.

Accidents / Trauma
If you are in an accident, or have some trauma to your mouth and teeth, the damage caused may be too severe to save. If this is the case, tooth extraction would be the best option to prevent the damaged teeth from becoming infected.

Think you need a tooth extracted? Having your tooth extracted can be the impulse decision, especially when you’re in pain, but it may not be the best solution.

Contact us to discuss whether tooth extraction is the best option for you.

Wisdom teeth or third molars become impacted when the jaw doesn’t have enough room for all the teeth to grow upright, causing the tooth to grow inwards towards the rest of the teeth. This can lead to several dental problems, including tooth decay and gum disease.

SYMPTOMS
The pain of impacted wisdom teeth is usually enough for you to know that there’s something wrong. However, knowing the symptoms of this dental problem can help you identify the cause of the pain early.

• Swollen, tender, and bleeding gums
• Pain on the jaw, gum, or the impacted tooth
• Swelling around the jaw
• Bad breath
• An unpleasant taste in your mouth
• Difficulty opening your mouth

PREVENTION
You can’t keep an impacted wisdom tooth from occurring, but keeping regular six-monthly dental appointments for cleaning and checkups allows your dentist to monitor the growth and emergence of your wisdom teeth. Regularly updated dental X-rays may indicate impacted wisdom teeth before any symptoms develop.

If you are experiencing any of the above mentioned symptoms or want to check the status of your wisdom teeth before they cause you pain, contact us right away to schedule an appointment.

Every patient is unique, so there’s no definite answer as to how long before you can get back to work, post-dental surgery.

The recovery period varies from patient to patient as there are several factors to consider, such as:

• Your overall health – age, illness, medication, and lifestyle are just some things to consider.
• The type of dental surgery done – some dental procedures are more complex and thus take longer to heal. For example, a single tooth extraction may allow you to return to work the next day. Multiple wisdom teeth extractions may require you to be off from work for a week.
• Your compliance with the aftercare instructions – following your dentist’s post-operative instructions is crucial to reduce the risk of complications that could derail the healing process.
• Nature of your work – if your job involves strenuous activities such as heavy lifting, you may need to take more time off or negotiate your workload with your employer.

During your initial consultation and after your surgical treatment, your dentist will provide you with a timeline of the expected recovery period based on the specifics of your case.

The most common reason a dentist would recommend a tooth extraction is when a tooth can no longer be saved due to decay. Plaque build-up causes tooth decay, and the bacteria produced can cause infection. When the infection becomes severe and root canal treatment can no longer save it, tooth extraction may be needed to prevent the infection from spreading further.

Gum Disease
If detected early, gum disease is easy to treat, but if it does not receive timely treatment, it can worsen. This can lead to severe damage to your gum tissue, causing your tooth to become loose and need to be extracted.

Overcrowding
If you undergo orthodontic treatment, tooth extraction may be recommended, especially if your teeth have no space to move or realign due to overcrowding. This is usually the case for those with larger teeth in a small jaw, which contributes to unwanted crowding.

Impacted Tooth
A tooth is impacted when it is blocked from coming out, usually due to not having enough room to grow upright, so it grows inward towards the rest of the teeth. This is usually the case for wisdom teeth. You may be recommended to extract your wisdom teeth to prevent damage to your other teeth.

Accidents / Trauma
If you are in an accident, or have some trauma to your mouth and teeth, the damage caused may be too severe to save. If this is the case, tooth extraction would be the best option to prevent the damaged teeth from becoming infected.

Think you need a tooth extracted? Having your tooth extracted can be the impulse decision, especially when you’re in pain, but it may not be the best solution.

Contact us to discuss whether tooth extraction is the best option for you.

Wisdom teeth or third molars become impacted when the jaw doesn’t have enough room for all the teeth to grow upright, causing the tooth to grow inwards towards the rest of the teeth. This can lead to several dental problems, including tooth decay and gum disease.

SYMPTOMS
The pain of impacted wisdom teeth is usually enough for you to know that there’s something wrong. However, knowing the symptoms of this dental problem can help you identify the cause of the pain early.

• Swollen, tender, and bleeding gums
• Pain on the jaw, gum, or the impacted tooth
• Swelling around the jaw
• Bad breath
• An unpleasant taste in your mouth
• Difficulty opening your mouth

PREVENTION
You can’t keep an impacted wisdom tooth from occurring, but keeping regular six-monthly dental appointments for cleaning and checkups allows your dentist to monitor the growth and emergence of your wisdom teeth. Regularly updated dental X-rays may indicate impacted wisdom teeth before any symptoms develop.

If you are experiencing any of the above mentioned symptoms or want to check the status of your wisdom teeth before they cause you pain, contact us right away to schedule an appointment.

Every patient is unique, so there’s no definite answer as to how long before you can get back to work, post-dental surgery.

The recovery period varies from patient to patient as there are several factors to consider, such as:

• Your overall health – age, illness, medication, and lifestyle are just some things to consider.
• The type of dental surgery done – some dental procedures are more complex and thus take longer to heal. For example, a single tooth extraction may allow you to return to work the next day. Multiple wisdom teeth extractions may require you to be off from work for a week.
• Your compliance with the aftercare instructions – following your dentist’s post-operative instructions is crucial to reduce the risk of complications that could derail the healing process.
• Nature of your work – if your job involves strenuous activities such as heavy lifting, you may need to take more time off or negotiate your workload with your employer.

During your initial consultation and after your surgical treatment, your dentist will provide you with a timeline of the expected recovery period based on the specifics of your case.

Afraid you’ll have to take a long time off work after dental surgery? We’ll do our best to ensure that you can return to work as soon as possible after your surgical treatment. Book an appointment now!

During your initial consultation, our dental professional will walk you through the treatment plan and provide information on what needs to be done before and after the oral surgery.

A treatment consent form will also be provided which details the reasons for the treatment, risks associated with the treatment, and risks of not getting the treatment done.

Once agreed, a detailed pre-operative procedure will be given to ensure the smoothest possible outcome.

After the procedure, you and your support person (if you brought one) will be informed of the post-operative procedures to reduce the risk of complications that could pro-long the healing process.

If you have any concerns, our dental professionals are here to answer your questions, so don’t hesitate to ask! Call us today to book your appointment.

Most people dread the idea of having their teeth pulled out. Before resorting to extracting a tooth, the dentist will always explore options to save the tooth first. Sometimes extraction is the only option because leaving the tooth in question in the mouth could pose an array of other serious problems.

A tooth is impacted when it is blocked from coming out, usually due to not having enough room to grow upright, so it grows inward towards the rest of the teeth. This is usually the case for wisdom teeth. You may be recommended to extract your wisdom teeth to prevent damage to your other teeth.

Accidents / Trauma
If you are in an accident, or have some trauma to your mouth and teeth, the damage caused may be too severe to save. If this is the case, tooth extraction would be the best option to prevent the damaged teeth from becoming infected.

Think you need a tooth extracted? Having your tooth extracted can be the impulse decision, especially when you’re in pain, but it may not be the best solution.

Wisdom teeth or third molars become impacted when the jaw doesn’t have enough room for all the teeth to grow upright, causing the tooth to grow inwards towards the rest of the teeth. This can lead to several dental problems, including tooth decay and gum disease.

SYMPTOMS
The pain of impacted wisdom teeth is usually enough for you to know that there’s something wrong. However, knowing the symptoms of this dental problem can help you identify the cause of the pain early.

• Swollen, tender, and bleeding gums
• Pain on the jaw, gum, or the impacted tooth
• Swelling around the jaw
• Bad breath
• An unpleasant taste in your mouth
• Difficulty opening your mouth

PREVENTION
You can’t keep an impacted wisdom tooth from occurring, but keeping regular six-monthly dental appointments for cleaning and checkups allows your dentist to monitor the growth and emergence of your wisdom teeth. Regularly updated dental X-rays may indicate impacted wisdom teeth before any symptoms develop.

If you are experiencing any of the above mentioned symptoms or want to check the status of your wisdom teeth before they cause you pain, contact us right away to schedule an appointment.

Every patient is unique, so there’s no definite answer as to how long before you can get back to work, post-dental surgery.

The recovery period varies from patient to patient as there are several factors to consider, such as:

• Your overall health – age, illness, medication, and lifestyle are just some things to consider.
• The type of dental surgery done – some dental procedures are more complex and thus take longer to heal. For example, a single tooth extraction may allow you to return to work the next day. Multiple wisdom teeth extractions may require you to be off from work for a week.
• Your compliance with the aftercare instructions – following your dentist’s post-operative instructions is crucial to reduce the risk of complications that could derail the healing process.
• Nature of your work – if your job involves strenuous activities such as heavy lifting, you may need to take more time off or negotiate your workload with your employer.

During your initial consultation and after your surgical treatment, your dentist will provide you with a timeline of the expected recovery period based on the specifics of your case.

During your initial consultation, our dental professional will walk you through the treatment plan and provide information on what needs to be done before and after the oral surgery.

A treatment consent form will also be provided which details the reasons for the treatment, risks associated with the treatment, and risks of not getting the treatment done.

Once agreed, a detailed pre-operative procedure will be given to ensure the smoothest possible outcome.

After the procedure, you and your support person (if you brought one) will be informed of the post-operative procedures to reduce the risk of complications that could pro-long the healing process.

If you have any concerns, our dental professionals are here to answer your questions, so don’t hesitate to ask! Call us today to book your appointment.

Most people dread the idea of having their teeth pulled out. Before resorting to extracting a tooth, the dentist will always explore options to save the tooth first. Sometimes extraction is the only option because leaving the tooth in question in the mouth could pose an array of other serious problems.

So, when do you really need to have your tooth extracted?

Decay
The most common reason a dentist would recommend a tooth extraction is when a tooth can no longer be saved due to decay. Plaque build-up causes tooth decay, and the bacteria produced can cause infection. When the infection becomes severe and root canal treatment can no longer save it, tooth extraction may be needed to prevent the infection from spreading further.

Gum Disease
If detected early, gum disease is easy to treat, but if it does not receive timely treatment, it can worsen. This can lead to severe damage to your gum tissue, causing your tooth to become loose and need to be extracted.

Overcrowding
If you undergo orthodontic treatment, tooth extraction may be recommended, especially if your teeth have no space to move or realign due to overcrowding. This is usually the case for those with larger teeth in a small jaw, which contributes to unwanted crowding.
