Impacted Teeth Removal
An impacted tooth occurs when it remains stuck in the gums, unable to fully surface above the gum line due to various reasons. In the case of a wisdom tooth, the cause is often crowding of other teeth, preventing the wisdom tooth to fully break through the gums.
When this happens, the tooth will need to be extracted in order to prevent misalignment, and avoid teeth pushing against one another. Also a condition called pericoronitis could result where a partially emerged tooth becomes a trap for food particles and plaque that will cause further dental problems.
If you prefer sedation therapy during a tooth extraction procedure, discuss your options with your dentist prior to your treatment. Our Katy tooth extraction specialists offer oral sedation medication, and nitrous oxide so that you can relax and have your tooth extraction done stress-free.
