Signs of age affect more than just our bodies. Our teeth also bear the years of significant use. Wear and tear from what we consume, such as tobacco and caffeine, will turn white teeth darker and stained. Fillings may loosen, or teeth may have fracture lines – both conditions allow decay to set in. Decay must be removed and fillings replaced. Gum disease, which is a major problem in seniors, needs to be kept in check. Certain medications are known to reduce saliva flow, which can have a detrimental effect on your teeth. We can remedy all of these problems with regular check-ups before they seriously affect your health and well-being. 
You want to keep your teeth for a lifetime, but circumstances can arise that prompt your dentist to recommend removing a tooth for the good of your dental health. And although many of your teeth are easily removable, it's occasionally more complicated, and requires a more involved procedure. Here's why the surgical extraction of teeth may become necessary, and how your dentist differentiates these procedures from others.
Don't wait to come into our office for treatment of gum infection. Surgery may be the only option once the disease has reached a severe stage. In milder cases, nonsurgical means can be used to remedy the problem successfully. Most insurance coverage provides for either option. But the best treatment is prevention, so we encourage good daily dental care and regular hygiene visits to our office.
