Why Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?
Tooth extractions are often recommended when a tooth is no longer able to be saved or is a risk to your overall oral health. While the idea of removing a tooth may seem scary, it can relieve debilitating dental pain and prevent further complications.
Some common reasons for tooth extractions include:
- Severe Decay or Infection: When a tooth is too damaged for a filling or crown to save it, removing the tooth may be the best option to prevent the spread of infection
- Damage Beyond Repair: Cracked or broken teeth that cannot be restored with a crown or other treatment may require extraction
- Overcrowding: Sometimes, removing a tooth is necessary to create space for orthodontic treatments or to allow other teeth to align properly
- Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth or other teeth that fail to emerge fully can cause pain, swelling, or damage to neighboring teeth, making extraction the best course of action
Don’t fear having a tooth extracted…instead, think of an extraction as a proactive step toward a healthier smile and better oral health. With the problem tooth gone, the way is cleared for restorative solutions, such as implants, bridges, or orthodontics, that can improve your dental health, appearance, and self-esteem.
