Tooth Extraction: When Removal Is the Safer Choice
I consider extraction when a tooth cannot be restored predictably, is causing infection or is blocking a necessary treatment plan. Before removal, I explain alternatives and what the gap may mean afterwards.
What I will help you check
- Whether the tooth can be saved with a reasonable prognosis.
- Medical history, imaging and the complexity of removal.
- Healing, pain control and replacement options when appropriate.
Ask me: What are the alternatives, and what happens after the tooth is removed?
