When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?
Typically, our team recommends tooth extractions in the following scenarios:
- Baby teeth are impacted below the gumline, blocking the path for permanent teeth to grow in.
- There’s not enough room in the mouth for successful orthodontic treatment.
- Gum disease has damaged the supportive soft and hard tissues around the teeth.
- Trauma has left a tooth severely damaged beyond repair.
- An infection has spread to the roots of a tooth, so it can’t be treated with a root canal,
The Tooth Extraction Process
Removing a tooth is a simple and relatively comfortable procedure. Once you are numb, all we do is gently lift the affected tooth out of its socket, then wiggle it free of any connective tissues to remove it from the gumline. In many cases, recovery from this procedure only takes a couple of weeks, and most patients are able to return to work within a day or so. Our team will also provide you with detailed post-operative instructions so you can make a speedy recovery!
