Getting immediate care for a dental emergency saves you time and money, prevents further complications, and is the best way to relieve your pain. The sooner you get help, the better!
Dr. Amin will take x-rays to identify the placement of the tooth and look at the condition in the tooth’s deeper layers. Through digital scans, we can identify infections, tooth decay, and other oral health problems and can determine if an extraction is necessary.
Before touching your tooth with any dental tools, we will use numbing agents such as local anesthesia to numb your mouth. If you prefer to be sedated for the extraction, we offer IV sedation and general anesthesia to our patients.
To remove a tooth surgically, an incision is made into the gums to gain access to the hidden tooth. Sometimes there is additional bone blocking the tooth which will be cut. Then, the tooth is sectioned and then removed like a basic extraction.
A dental elevator breaks the ligaments holding the tooth in the socket and then forceps are used to grab it and remove it.
Any incisions will be sutured shut and the socket will be thoroughly cleaned. A gauze will be placed to encourage blood clotting and stop the bleeding.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a popular sleep apnea type that occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat relax and block your airway during sleep. This can cause snoring and periods of interrupted breathing.
Central sleep apnea (CSA) is less common than OSA but is more severe. CSA occurs when your brain doesn’t signal your muscles to breathe. This can cause periods of shallow or paused breathing.
Complex sleep apnea syndrome (CSAS) is a combination of both OSA and CSA. CSAS is the most severe form of sleep apnea and can be life-threatening if not treated properly.
TMD pain can extend to the neck, ear, face, upper back and shoulders. It can also cause migraines.
Stress can make TMD worse. Clenching of the jaw and bruxism can wear out the jaw and enhance TMJ pain.
