It is not uncommon for people to need their wisdom teeth removed. These teeth are routinely extracted with a simple oral surgery procedure that can be completed in a single visit. Our guide will answer all of your questions about this procedure, from how to prepare for the surgery to how long you can expect to spend in recovery.

Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, are the cause of one of the most common dental problems – cavities.

Dental caries originate from several strains of mutans streptococci bacteria. When these bacteria consume sugars from the food you eat, they secrete acid that breaks down your tooth’s protective enamel structures. Your saliva naturally repairs some of this damage, but if too much harm is done before your saliva can counteract the problem, a cavity begins to form.

If you believe that you have a cavity, please call our office at 647-371-1894 to book an appointment. Our team will be able to examine the area of concern and recommend appropriate treatment. If caught early, some cavities can be repaired without the need for anesthetic, so be sure to visit as soon as possible!
