Expert Care for Tooth Extraction
There are a number of reasons why a tooth extraction is needed:
- The tooth is severely decayed
- Advanced periodontal disease (“gum disease”)
- The tooth may be broken such that it cannot be repaired
- Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted wisdom teeth) preparation for orthodontic treatment (“braces”)
Effects of Missing Teeth
When a tooth is missing its neighboring teeth will tend to shift, sometimes significantly, which in turn can have a major impact on your dental health. Even the removal of a single tooth can lead to problems related to your chewing ability, problems with your jaw joint, and the problem of a possibility that the surrounding teeth of predispose the teeth may shifted.
To avoid these complications, in most cases, your dentist will probably recommend to you to replace the tooth that has been extracted. Restorations for missing teeth includes:
- Dental Bridges
- Dental Implants
- Dentures
There are no hard and fast rules for the commencement of treatment because everyone is an individual. However, most orthodontists would prefer to see a patient for the first time at eight or nine years of age to consider the possibilities of intercepting any problems, Commonly, children are treated once the permanent(adult) teeth have erupted or are due to erupt, if the problem is essentially overcrowding of the teeth. There are however advantages to treating problems related to habits of facial bone imbalances at an earlier time.
