Time To Extract A Tooth? These Are The Telltale SignsA tooth extraction is something that everyone hopes to avoid, but sometimes it’s the best way to maintain the overall health of your mouth. Let’s look at the situations in which an extraction is most likely.

  1. Traumatic Damage To Teeth
    If a tooth has shattered or sustained serious damage as the result of a fall or other accident, is is often a good idea to remove it. If the damage is confined exclusively to the upper chewing surface of the teeth, then a crown can be a good solution instead.
  2. Infection Of A Tooth Or Teeth
    If one tooth is severely infected, it can be a good idea to completely remove it in order to protect the surrounding teeth. In the event that more than one tooth has to be removed, then a bridge may be used. In some cases, infected teeth can be saved by use of a root canal procedure.
  3. Serious Damage To Underlying Bone
    In some cases, periodontal disease can progress in such a way that the jaw bone under a tooth is damaged. Removing a tooth in this situation can help to arrest the progress of the disease. A dental implant can be used to anchor a replacement tooth into the bone in many cases.

In all the above scenarios, the sooner you get treatment, the better!
