Extractions
Dental extractions or the removal of a tooth can be necessary for various reasons and are often considered dental emergencies. Patients who experience severe tooth decay, gum disease, or trauma to a tooth may require an extraction to prevent further damage to the mouth and surrounding teeth.
Additionally, patients who have crowded teeth or impacted wisdom teeth may also require extractions as part of orthodontic treatment or to prevent infection and discomfort. While extractions may seem daunting, modern dental techniques and anesthesia options make the procedure relatively quick and painless.
What are the benefits?
Benefits of dental extractions include:
- Prevention of infection- Extracting a severely damaged or infected tooth can prevent the spread of infection to other teeth and parts of the mouth.
- Pain relief- Extractions can alleviate severe pain caused by damaged or infected teeth.
- Orthodontic treatment- In some cases, extractions may be necessary to create space for proper alignment of teeth.
- Prevents future dental issues- Removing a tooth that cannot be salvaged can prevent further damage and future dental issues.
