Tartar

When plaque stays on the teeth, it can get in hard conditions and turn into Tartar along your gum line. Once it turns into Tartar, it is not possible to remove it by brushing. Only a dentist is able to remove it from your gum line. Tartar can promote Gingivitis.

Third Molars

Third Molars are also called as wisdom teeth. Many persons will develop a Third Molar tooth in all four quadrants of their mouth at upper right, upper left, lower right and lower left. In most of the cases they erupt after the 17th Life-year.

Tooth Extraction

The removal of a decayed or broken tooth from the bone’s socket is named Tooth Extraction. If there is too much damage at a tooth, so that a repair isn’t possible, dentists have to extract the tooth. A Tooth Extraction is a quick procedure using general, local or intravenous anesthesia.
