The oldest and best-known method is extraction. But is this always the best option? In most cases, the patient will come out ahead by letting the dentist save the tooth if possible. That\u2019s because an extraction is often anything but simple. Not only that, but even a single missing tooth can lead to more problems down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Ins and Outs of Tooth Extraction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust pull it, doctor.\u201d Almost every dentist has heard that phrase at one time or another. It makes perfect sense in some cases, such as when the tooth is too damaged to save or the discomfort is especially severe. other times, however, extraction is best avoided. That&#8217;s because it can lead to unforeseen complications such as these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prolonged surgery: <\/strong>a tooth that\u2019s in an advanced state of decay is suffering severe internal problems. It may have already broken into multiple pieces beneath the gum line. If this is the case, then your dentist may need to perform extensive work to remove all the fragments. Not only does this take time, it can also increase patient discomfort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Risk of infection: <\/strong>an extracted tooth leaves behind a dark, moist depression in the patient\u2019s oral profile. This is the perfect breeding ground for harmful bacteria, like the kind that cause cavities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aesthetic issues: <\/strong>this is especially a problem if the post-extraction gap affects the patient\u2019s visible teeth. You can\u2019t dazzle the world with your smile if it suffers from open spaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not the End, Just the Beginning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your teeth are like any good\norganization: they work best when all of the members are strong, healthy, and\npresent. Extraction may provide short-term pain relief, but only at the expense\nof your overall oral health. The remaining teeth must work extra hard, which\ncan eventually cause them to fail. This is how many people end up needing\ndentures or other forms of restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternatives to Extraction <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One way your dentist can save\na distressed tooth is with a filling. This procedure eliminates pain and\ninfection and protects the tooth from further damage. Properly placed fillings\ncan last 20 years or longer. Modern tooth-colored filling material makes this a\nsmile-friendly approach to treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option is to perform\na root canal. This is a more extensive form of treatment in which the dentist\nremoves infected pulp and nerve tissue all the way down into the roots of the\ntooth itself. The inside is then treated with a special sanitizing agent and a\nfilling applied. Your dentist may also recommend a crown to protect the tooth\nand restore lost functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Root canals have an\nundeserved reputation for being uncomfortable. In reality, modern root canals are\nnot only more effective than ever before, they\u2019re also gentle on the patient.\nMost patients compare the experience to a typical extraction in terms of\ndiscomfort. Yet the benefits of a root canal can last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tooth extraction is sometimes\nnecessary; of this there is no doubt. In most cases however, it\u2019s better to\nchoose one of the alternatives discussed in this post. Ask your regular or\nemergency dentist about these options during your upcoming appointment. That\u2019s\nthe best way to keep your smile strong and healthy over the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Andrew Tadros studied dentistry at the University of the Pacific in Stockton California before moving to the East Dallas area.
