Sometimes saving a natural tooth isn’t possible, making extraction the best choice for your overall health.
Several situations may require tooth extractions. Examples of this include extensive decay that has destroyed the tooth structure, progressive periodontal disease causing severe loosening, or root canal treatments that weren’t successful. Other common reasons include making space for orthodontic treatment in overcrowded mouths, removing troublesome wisdom teeth, or addressing teeth damaged beyond repair from accidents or injuries.
While preserving natural teeth is always the goal, extracting severely compromised teeth prevents infection from spreading and protects your long-term oral health. Take a moment to watch this short video by the American Dental Association.
