Not busy right now? It’s a good time to have your wisdom teeth removed. Call us to book a free consult at 452-1985. NB Dental Society: Why are wisdom teeth often removed? You would think that having extra teeth would make chewing even easier, but that is not usually the case! There are many problems that can arise when the wisdom teeth appear, and sometimes they may need to be extracted, either by your dentist or, in more difficult cases, by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.... When wisdom teeth only partially break through the gums, they can leave the area around the teeth open for bacteria to enter, causing infection or caries. Sometimes the jaw is too small to accommodate the extra teeth, resulting in the wisdom teeth becoming impacted, which is when the wisdom teeth crowd in and push against the other teeth. If impacted wisdom teeth are allowed to continue growing, they may cause damage to the other teeth. In addition, cysts or tumours may form from the pressure of the incoming wisdom teeth, resulting in damage to the surrounding bone or tooth roots. If you are experiencing pain, continuously biting your cheek, or having problems cleaning your wisdom teeth, talk to your dentist about your options. Some dentists prefer to assess wisdom teeth before they are fully developed (they are often easier to remove before the roots are fully formed). See more

Posted by the NB Dental Society: NEXT STEPS FOR RETURN TO DENTAL CARE On March 17, 2020 the New Brunswick Dental Society (NBDS) issued a strong recommendation to its members and the public that dentistry was restricted to emergency care. ... On March 19, 2020, the Province of New Brunswick issued a mandatory order restricting dentistry to emergency and essential services only. As of 2:30 pm today, the Province of New Brunswick confirmed that upon confirmation of an Operational Plan, that dentistry will no longer be restricted to emergencies. The NBDS has developed an operational plan that complements the provincial plan, and which must be adhered to by its members. The NBDS Operational Plan is our new standard of practice and must be implemented in each clinic prior to any return to practice says Dr Joy Carmichael, President of the NBDS. We will be placing a strong emphasis in the early stages, on physical distancing and on the importance of dealing with the backlog of patients who have been unable to receive full dental care in the past seven weeks., says Dr Carmichael. Members will need to prepare for a return to work and comply with this new operating plan and for this reason dental offices will not be open until Wednesday May 13, 2020. Today’s announcement is good news for our province and for dental patients.
