Tooth Extraction
You and Dr. Gary Simms, DDS may determine that you need a tooth extraction for any number of reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
Dental Abscess
When a tooth undergoes severe decay, or it gets chipped, or broken, bacteria can get in the openings and cause infection. This can also happened with gingivitis or gum disease sets in as well. When this infection travels to the root of the tooth, or between the gum and the tooth, a dental abscess takes place. The most common way to treat this problem is through an incision & drainage procedure.

Bruxism, or teeth grinding, effects millions of patients. Usually occurring during sleep, bruxism often can often go undiagnosed. Left untreated (no mouth guard) chronic teeth grinding can damage the jaw and teeth and cause chronic, sometimes debilitating headaches and facial pain.

North Druid Hills, also known as Briarcliff or Toco Hills, is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (North Druid Hills CDP) in DeKalb County, Georgia, United States. The population was 18,947 at the 2010 census.[4] The commercial center of the area is the Toco Hill Shopping Center, located near the intersection of North Druid Hills Road and Lavista Road.
Toco Hills is a large commercial and residential neighborhood in the eastern portion of the North Druid Hills CDP. The commercial component consists of two major shopping centers that are located at the intersection of LaVista and North Druid Hills roads that were developed in the 1950s. While it is generally accepted that the name “Toco Hills” is derived from the Toco Hill shopping center, the origin of that name is disputed. Some sources claim that the developer chose the name Toco because it was the Brazilian Indian word for “good luck.”[8] Other sources claim Toco is an informal abbreviation of “top of the County.”[9][10] In any case, the shopping center was developed on what was a hill, and the name gradually changed to “Toco Hills.” The area is home to a large Orthodox Jewish population, and marked by wooded subdivisions featuring mostly ranch homes surrounding the commercial area.[8]
