Why would I need to pull a tooth?

There are many reasons you may need a tooth pulled. Let’s explore a few of the most common ones:

1. Tooth Decay or Trauma

When there is prolonged damage or decay your options become more limited. Remember, our goal is always to save your natural teeth whenever possible. But if the tooth is too damaged to be saved by a dental filling, root canal therapy, or endodontic treatment, we may recommend extraction.

2. Advanced Gum Disease

If severe gum disease has destroyed your gums and underlying bone, the tooth in question may be too loose to be saved by conventional gum disease treatment. In this sort of scenario, the tooth must be removed and replaced with an implant. Gum disease accounts for the majority of adult tooth loss in this country and it attacks your body’s other systems too.

3. Orthodontic Treatment

You might be surprised by this one. But your orthodontist may actually recommend tooth extraction if your mouth is too crowded. When you think about it, braces need room to be able to move your teeth into a better alignment. At the end of the day, braces will improve the health and appearance of your smile and boost your confidence.

Finding the best dental solution for you

If you turn out to be a good candidate for a dental extraction, we will begin with a complete oral evaluation. Our team will take digital dental X-rays and possibly 3D CAT scan images.

From these crisp, detailed images we can better see the structure of your tooth so that we can extract it safely.

After concluding the planning process, we will numb the area around your damaged tooth. If the crown of your tooth is visible above your gum line, we can do a simple extraction. In the event that your tooth is broken off at the gum line or is impacted, like wisdom teeth often can be, we may surgically remove your tooth.

Don’t forget, if you are anxious about the procedure, we can offer you sedation options to help put you at ease. If we are removing several teeth that day, we will likely use general anesthesia.
