When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?
If your tooth can be saved with a dental filling, custom crown, or root canal treatment, you can trust we will recommend it before suggesting tooth extraction. We care about the health and longevity of your smile, so keeping your natural teeth in place as long as possible is always the goal. However, if any of the following situations arise, there may be no other option than to remove the problem tooth:
- Extensive tooth decay that is spreading and putting other teeth at risk.
- Facial trauma that causes a tooth to break so severely that it cannot be saved.
- Advanced gum disease that causes one or more of your teeth to become loose.
- You require orthodontics but lack the necessary space for proper tooth movement.
- Your remaining healthy teeth are at risk of becoming decayed, and you need custom prosthetics.
- A baby tooth is unwilling to fall out on its own, and the permanent tooth is pushing through the gums.
- Wisdom teeth are impacted and pressing against healthy adjacent teeth.
