When We Recommend A Tooth Extraction

Older man in white hatIt is quite normal to have concerns when your dentist recommends extracting one of your natural teeth. After all, you have a limited number and they will not regrow after removal. You may wonder if the procedure causes discomfort or if the recovery is taxing. While these questions are valid, you should know that pulling your tooth can be greatly beneficial in treating severe decay or infections that threaten more than the individual structure. Think of an extraction as simply the first step in treating your pain and beginning plans to restore your oral health. After we perform your removal, your Newport Beach, CA dentist can schedule a visit to create and place an implant or other prosthetic. This means you need not worry about permanent gaps in your smile or the ability to enjoy your meals after removing an injured tooth. (more…)
