An agonizing toothache one day before you’re set to leave for vacation or a family reunion is not ideal, but it happens to most of us at one time or another. Fortunately, we provide emergency dental extractions to bring you fast relief.
Of course, after your vacation or family reunion, discussing tooth replacement with the dentist is vital. Tooth replacement options include:
- Dental Implants
- Dental Bridges
- Dentures and Partials
Your dentist will discuss these options with you and help you make an informed decision for your smile’s future.
Why You Might Need a Tooth Extraction in Annapolis, MD
Sometimes, the dentist can save a tooth through treatment and a crown. Other times, it makes more sense to extract.
- Oral Injury or Severe Damage: A tooth broken below the gumline, severely damaged, or riddled with deep decay may require extraction to prevent infection spread and related oral health complications. We consider toothaches that are causing you pain to be dental emergencies.
- Troublesome Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that partially erupt or encroach on other teeth need to be extracted. If a partially erupted wisdom tooth is infected and causing pain, we consider this a dental emergency. Wisdom teeth are not necessary for your smile’s health or aesthetics.
Other reasons we may extract—non-emergencies—include overcrowding or as a pretreatment before dentures.
When Tooth Replacement Is Vital
Tooth replacement is vital after most extractions other than wisdom teeth. It restores oral function and smile beauty and promotes better oral health by preventing tooth migration, jaw joint issues, misalignment, and general wear and tear.
Dental implants are the only option that supports jawbone health and integrity.
Your smile is always our priority!
