Does Tend offer sedation options for oral surgery?
Sedation dentistry may be appropriate for certain patients or dental procedures.

How do I know if I need a tooth extraction in Connecticut?
A painful or damaged tooth doesn’t automatically mean it needs to be removed. Your dentist can examine the tooth and use X-rays when appropriate to understand the problem and consider your treatment options. Wisdom teeth may also need to be extracted if they’re causing problems or affecting your oral health. If a tooth extraction in Connecticut is recommended, your Tend team will explain why and help you understand what to expect before making a treatment decision.

How is an oral surgery clinic in Westport different from general dental care?
General dentistry focuses on ongoing preventative and restorative care, while oral surgery addresses dental problems that require a surgical approach.

When should I have my wisdom teeth checked?
Wisdom teeth can be evaluated even when they aren’t causing obvious symptoms. Their position, development, and effect on the surrounding teeth can help determine whether treatment may be appropriate. At Tend, we can evaluate your oral health and discuss wisdom teeth removal if it may benefit your smile.
