Our team will do everything we can to save your teeth, but occasionally a tooth extraction is still needed. We may decide to extract a tooth for one of many different reasons. Our job is to ensure your teeth are as healthy as possible.
Many people have tooth extractions due to one issue or another. The reason may include one or more of the following:
Regardless of what is wrong with your tooth, we will first do what we can to treat the problem. We may try a root canal to get rid of infected tooth pulp, or we might be able to use a crown to protect the tooth. We only extract teeth when necessary.
Our dental team can help your extraction treatment move quickly and efficiently. After a tooth extraction, our staff members can show you how to take care of your mouth when you’re at home. Remember to eat soft foods when you’re ready and to be careful not to loosen the blood clots. When the extracted area loses protection, you can develop dry socket.
