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.
Mouth Guard
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. Decatur, GA dentist Dr. Gary Simms, DDS provides treatment for teeth grinding and clenching to prevent damage to your oral health.
Toothache
We often have patients come to our Metro Decatur Dental Group PC dental office complaining about tooth pain. Symptoms often vary widely from one individual to another. Your dentist will listen to your concerns, evaluate your condition and design a treatment plan to alleviate your tooth pain.
