When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?
Your overall health and well-being matter, so when an infection forms or severe damage impacts one of your teeth, we must decide if removing the tooth is necessary. It’s always a tough decision, but leaving bad teeth in place simply because they do not hurt is similar to leaving cancer untreated when it doesn’t hurt. Not doing so in a timely fashion will lead to further, more invasive, complicated, and costly destruction.
In some cases, a dental crown or another form of treatment can be used to repair and restore the affected area. However, if the problem is one of the following, Dr. David will have no choice but to extract the tooth and discuss ways to replace it:
- Severe decay is spreading throughout the tooth and has the potential to affect other healthy teeth.
- Extreme facial trauma has caused a tooth to break off at the gumline, which cannot be repaired with restorative treatment.
- An infection or abscess has formed and is threatening your oral and overall health.
- Your child’s primary tooth is refusing to fall out on its own and is preventing the permanent one from erupting.
