Dental Term of the Week: Impacted Teeth 🦷

An impacted tooth is a tooth that doesn't have enough room to erupt properly or becomes trapped beneath the gums or bone. While wisdom teeth are the most common impacted teeth, canines and other permanent teeth can also become impacted.

When wisdom teeth are impacted, they can cause pain, swelling, infection, damage to nearby teeth, or even cysts. In many cases, your oral surgeon may recommend removing them before they cause problems.

For impacted teeth that are important to your smile and bite, such as canines, treatment is often different. An oral surgeon can perform an expose and bond procedure, where the tooth is carefully uncovered and a small orthodontic attachment is placed on it. Your orthodontist can then gently guide the tooth into its proper position.

Every impacted tooth is unique, so the right treatment depends on its location, your age, and your overall dental health.

Have questions about impacted teeth? Our team is here to help. Give us a call to schedule a consultation and discuss the best treatment option for you!

📖Oral Surgery Terms- Week 2: Dry Socket

You've probably heard someone say they got a "dry socket," but what does that actually mean?

After a tooth is removed, your body forms a blood clot to protect the area and begin the healing process. If that clot becomes dislodged or doesn't form properly, the underlying bone and nerves are exposed. This is called a dry socket, and it can be much more painful than the extraction itself.

The good news? Dry socket is uncommon, and following your post-operative instructions can significantly reduce your risk. Avoid using straws, smoking or va**ng, forceful spitting, and vigorous rinsing during the first few days after surgery. These activities can disturb the blood clot before it has a chance to stabilize.

If your pain suddenly becomes worse a few days after your extraction instead of gradually improving, contact your oral surgeon. Dry socket is treatable, and we're here to help you heal as comfortably as possible.

📖 Oral Surgery Terms - Week 1: Extraction

"Extraction" is one of the most common terms you'll hear at an oral surgeon's office, but what does it actually mean?

An extraction is simply the removal of a tooth. While saving your natural teeth is always the goal, there are times when removing a tooth is the healthiest option. This may be necessary if a tooth is severely damaged, infected, impacted, or causing crowding or pain.

Many patients are surprised to learn that tooth extractions are carefully planned procedures. Before treatment, we'll review your X-rays, discuss your options, and explain exactly what to expect. Our team also provides detailed aftercare instructions to help you heal comfortably.

If you've been told you may need an extraction, don't be afraid to ask questions. Understanding the procedure can help you feel more confident and prepared.

What happens if you ignore a tooth that needs to be extracted❓

When a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or no longer healthy enough to be saved, extraction may be the best option to protect your overall oral health.

Putting off a necessary extraction can allow problems to worsen over time. What may start as occasional discomfort can progress to significant pain, infection, swelling, and damage to neighboring teeth and bone.

In some cases, a failing tooth can become difficult to clean, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease in surrounding areas. If infection develops, it can spread beyond the affected tooth and lead to more serious complications.

Common reasons a tooth may need to be extracted include:
🦷 Severe decay
🦷 Advanced gum disease
🦷 Extensive damage or fractures
🦷 Infection that cannot be treated predictably
🦷 Overcrowding or orthodontic concerns

Addressing the problem early can often prevent more extensive treatment later and help keep the rest of your smile healthy.

What happens if you ignore an abscess or infection in your mouth❓

A dental infection is more than just a toothache. While the pain may come and go, the infection itself usually doesn't disappear without treatment.

What starts as a small infection in a tooth or the surrounding gums can spread to nearby tissues, causing increased pain, swelling, difficulty chewing, and damage to the surrounding bone.

In some cases, untreated infections can spread beyond the mouth and jaw into other areas of the body, leading to serious health complications. Severe swelling may even affect breathing or swallowing, making prompt treatment especially important.

Common signs of a dental infection include:
🦷 Persistent tooth pain
🦷 Swelling of the gums, face, or jaw
🦷 A bad taste or drainage in the mouth
🦷 Fever
🦷 Sensitivity when chewing

The sooner an infection is diagnosed and treated, the easier it is to prevent it from becoming a bigger problem.

Stay tuned for our fourth and final week of our Q&A series!
