Emergency Dental Care in Vega Alta
At Champion Dental PC, we provide
emergency dental care in Vega Alta and perform emergency tooth extractions as needed. There are many reasons a patient may need to have their teeth extracted. Most usually, extractions are done when there is extreme tooth decay or a wisdom tooth needs to come out because it is impacted. A toothache usually signals that there is a problem within the tooth that needs to be fixed.
Toothaches can also be the cause of wisdom teeth growing in. Wisdom teeth are the last molars to come in, and grow in between the ages of 17 and 25. In most cases, with wisdom teeth there is not enough room for the teeth to sit comfortably in the mouth. The average human mouth can only hold 28 teeth, which makes it hard for all four wisdom teeth to erupt without becoming too crowded. In the event that the wisdom teeth become impacted, the patient may experience pain and swelling. If they are not removed, an abscess or infection can set in. Some wisdom teeth erupt and stay healthy, and may not need to be removed. If the wisdom teeth erupt only partially, bacteria and infection can form, so it is far better to have the teeth removed ahead of time and before any issues happen that would require the need for
emergency dental care in Vega Alta.
Another problem with wisdom teeth erupting wrong is that it can push other teeth out of alignment. Braces and orthodontic appliances may be needed to align the teeth back into position if this happens. Whether your toothache is the result of a cavity, a bad root canal or a wisdom tooth, we can perform your extraction easily. Extractions can be done quickly and at our offices and by our dentist using simple anesthesia.
