Cysts and tumors can be associated with the teeth and the jaw. There are also many pathologic processes that can occur in the soft tissue of the mouth. These may be discovered by your dentist during a routine exam or may be causing significant symptoms. Either way it is important that these issues are evaluated and diagnosed right away. Dr. Streelman and his team can assist in locating, diagnosing and treating abnormal sores, cysts, or tumors in the mouth.

The canine teeth, also known as eye teeth, are typically the last adult teeth to fully erupt. In fact, sometimes, they do not fully erupt at all. Like wisdom teeth, these teeth can become impacted and submerged under the gum tissue. This can result in spacing issues or alignment problems with the surrounding teeth. In some instances, it may also prevent the baby teeth from falling out. Impacted canines can be addressed through oral surgery.
