Extractions Can Improve Your Oral Health
It is our number one goal to try and save a tooth from extraction in order to preserve the health and beauty of your smile. However, extraction can be the best option when others have proven unsuccessful. Extraction can help eliminate infection and alleviate pain or discomfort, improving your overall health. The following are common circumstances when a tooth extraction may be necessary to offer relief:
- Severe tooth decay or infection
- Severe or advanced gum disease
- Dental trauma
- Retained baby teeth
- Impacted or crooked wisdom teeth
- Teeth impaired by gum disease
Save Your Smile from a More Serious Condition
Contrary to more popular belief, tooth extractions performed with modern dental technology in the capable hands of a dentist like Dr. Jeremy Wehrman are relatively pain-free, especially when compared to the pain you experience from the tooth on a daily basis before receiving treatment. Removing a tooth is typically recommended as a last resort option, however, to prevent more serious conditions from developing that could damage the smile and require complex, costly treatment plans. If there is a chance for the tooth to be saved, Dr. Wehrman will always consider other options before extraction.
