Regular cleanings and oral examinations by a qualified dental professional are essential to maintaining optimal oral health and are a great way to prevent some dental problems from becoming dental emergencies. At cosmetic dental care, we offer a wide range of general dentistry procedures.

Dental Extraction

There are several reasons to extract a tooth from your mouth, including decay, crowding and periodontal disease. If you are experiencing a severe toothache, contact cosmetic dental care immediately to find out whether you need an emergency dental extraction. Our Sydney area emergency dental practice can help relieve you of any pain so the healing process can begin. If left untreated, a damaged tooth may cause additional problems, as well as continued discomfort.

The Dental Extraction Process

First, a local anesthetic will be used to numb the area. We also provide general anesthesia to lessen anxiety about the dental extraction procedure. A general anesthetic will allow you to sleep through the entire procedure. Following your dental extraction, our professional dentist may provide you with stitches.

The dental extraction recovery process generally lasts only a few days. During this time you will need to rinse your mouth out with warm salt water to accelerate the healing process and to reduce swelling. We will also provide you with a comprehensive list of practices to help lessen recovery time.

Periodontal (Gum) Disease

Sore, bleeding gums may be a sign of periodontal, or gum, disease. Our Sydney area emergency dental practice can help. A serious gum disorder, periodontal disease affects the gums and other soft tissues of the mouth. An earlier form of periodontal disease, gingivitis is caused by the build up of toxic bacteria in the mouth, usually between teeth and under the gum line where plaque and food particles collect.

Symptoms of periodontal disease include sore, receding or bleeding gums. Sydney area residents can take advantage of a variety of treatment options available at cosmetic dental care. Treatment includes soft tissue grafting, pocket reduction and regeneration.
