Equal Benefits Ordinance Companies doing business with the City must comply with the Equal Benefits Ordinance of the Los Angeles Administrative Code. This ordinance ensures that you provide benefits equally to employees with spouses and employees with domestic partners, or that you provide a cash equivalent.
Functional/Esthetics: To remove excess gum tissue (gingival overgrowth) that has formed as a result of certain drugs such as anti-seizure and organ-transplant medications, and certain high blood pressure medications. Bone and gum health around the teeth: To shrink deep gum pockets.
Once the tooth has been extracted, a blood clot usually forms in the socket. The dentist will pack a gauze pad into the socket and get you to bite down on it to help stop the bleeding. Sometimes the dentist will place a few stitches -- usually self-dissolving -- to close the gum edges over the extraction site.
