If you have severe sensitivity or advanced gum disease, a tooth extraction may be necessary. Tooth extractions are typically a last resort in dentistry, performed due to severe decay, impacted wisdom teeth, or the need to create space for braces. The main benefit is immediate pain relief, especially if the tooth is decayed or infected. However, replacement is necessary to prevent misalignment of surrounding teeth.
If you feel unwell the week before or on the day of your extraction, please call our office to discuss alternative arrangements. Contact us with any questions.
