Tooth Removal
Have oral pain that won't go away?
Tooth pain can be caused by small things like a piece of food stuck in your gum to a more serious issue like a cracked tooth or infection.
Periodontal disease refers to the disease of your gums and the surrounding bones and tissue in your mouth. Bacteria and plaque accumulates in tiny pockets around teeth and over time it hardens into tartar or calculus.
- A toothache that lasts longer than one or two days
- Severe pain
- A fever and/or earache
- Pain when you open your mouth wide
- Swelling in the mouth or face

Removing severely decayed or impacted teeth lowers the chances of gum infections and periodontal disease.

An impacted or overcrowded tooth can put pressure on surrounding teeth; extraction protects them from shifting or damage.
Enhances Aesthetic Appearance
Extraction of problematic teeth allows for proper alignment, orthodontics, or cosmetic treatments, leading to a healthier, more attractive smile.

By removing a source of chronic infection or inflammation, tooth extraction can improve overall health and reduce risks of related systemic issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will regular cleanings help detect and prevent gum disease?
Yes. Regular dental visits are an essential part of taking care of your general health. The hygienist and dentist will determine what your treatment needs are. Regular cleanings will assist with early detection and prevention of gum related issues, including ‘gingivitis’.
Gingivitis is the initial phase of gum disease; the signs of gingivitis are red gums which bleed when brushed and flossed. It is reversible with good oral hygiene and treatment by your dental hygienist. Prevention is always very important with most oral health issues and more so with gum disease.
What causes periodontal disease?
Inadequate brushing and flossing, smoking and diabetes are some causes of periodontal disease. Other causes include genetics, hormonal changes, or nutritional deficiencies.
How can periodontal disease be treated?
Treatment may be performed by a periodontist, a dentist or a dental hygienist. Treatments vary from deep cleaning and scaling to gum surgery, depending on the severity of the condition. Periodontal disease should be diagnosed by an oral care professional at expatdental®. Regular cleaning, flossing is vital to stop the disease getting worse. Avoid smoking, chewing tobacco or nicotine vaping and avoid excessive alcohol.
Do I need to see a gum specialist?
Almost all aspects of gum disease can be treated in one of our two clinics, by our well-trained oral care staff and dentists. However, if a patient has a more advanced case of gum disease, the dentist will make the decision to refer to a Periodontist.
Does gum disease cause bad breath?
Yes. There can be other reasons to have bad breath, but if you have gum disease, you will have bad breath.
What is a "deep cleaning"?
A deep cleaning is referring to more advanced forms of cleaning when the dental hygienist needs to clean bacteria, tarter and other debris that has built up under the gum line.
Will it hurt to have my gums treated?
No. Our skilled staff will always make sure to treat you with skill and compassion to work towards helping you achieve good oral health.
