Do I Need a Tooth Extraction?

Getting a tooth removed may sound like an intimidating task, but modern technology and techniques have made the procedure simple and straightforward. We rarely recommend tooth extraction as the first option for a damaged or infected tooth. However, if we determine that the tooth should be pulled, the process is significantly less painful than living with an infected or damaged tooth. The longer you wait to extract a tooth that we deem ready to go, the more severe the pain and infection can get. We’ll have a better idea of the proper course of action after an assessment in our Bellevue dental office.

Why Would I Need an Extraction?

There are plenty of reasons why we may determine that an extraction is the right procedure for you. The best way to find out is by scheduling an appointment with us. During your visit, we’ll examine the tooth that is bothering you. In the meantime, we’ve comprised this list to help you learn more about your teeth and what to expect when you visit us.

Infection or Disease

Infections and severe diseases can cause serious decay in your gums and teeth. The deeper the decay, the more difficult it is to repair your tooth. If the decay has targeted your tooth’s root and cannot be treated with antibiotics, we may need to extract the tooth.

Severe Damage

If you have sustained severe damage to your tooth from a disease or an accident, it may be beyond repair. An extraction can improve your smile by making room for a stronger implant or other in-depth repairs.

Overcrowding Teeth

In some instances, your mouth may be too small for your teeth, causing crowding and discomfort. Additionally, crowded teeth are more susceptible to infections as they create pockets for bacteria to grow. We may need to extract teeth to prevent this. A wisdom tooth extraction is a perfect example. This is a very common procedure to avoid overcrowding and nurture a healthy developing smile.

Call Us Today to Schedule Your Appointment

Dental extractions are no longer a daunting experience. In fact, they’re quite common for fixing smiles and preventing infections and further damage. If you’re suffering from tooth decay, overcrowding, an injury, an infection, or gum disease, we can conduct an extraction to start the healing process. We look forward to restoring your oral health and preventing additional problems from occurring. Contact Lifetime Smiles today to schedule your appointment.
