Tooth Exposure & Uncovery in Virginia
Tooth exposure is the process of showing a permanent tooth that hasn't come in yet. To do this, a small cut is made in your gum, through which the tooth can come out. It's important to take care of impacted teeth because if you don't, painful illnesses can start to grow. Most of the time, tooth exposure is done when wisdom teeth don't come in or when a child's adult teeth don't come in on their own.
There are a number of things that can cause a tooth to become affected and need to be taken out, such as:

Sometimes, teeth don't come in the way they should. When a tooth gets stuck in the gum tissue and doesn't come out right, it can affect the way the teeth next to it come out, leave a space that needs to be filled, and even damage the roots of the teeth next to it.
When possible, the natural tooth should be used to fill the empty spot. An uncovering process lets us figure out where the impacted tooth is, remove the things that stopped it from coming out on its own, help the tooth come out, and fix its position.

What are the benefits of getting Tooth uncovering Treatment?
When a canine doesn't come out and stays under the gums, you may need orthodontic support and treatment to get the tooth in the right place in the dental arch. To help the orthodontist, we will dig up the canine tooth and put an orthodontic clamp on it. This will allow the orthodontist to reach the tooth and move it into the right place. It's important to take care of this problem as soon as possible so that it doesn't mess up your smile and hurt the other teeth in the area.
