BEYOND REPAIR When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
None of us want to lose our teeth — many even have nightmares about it! But unfortunately, no dentist can save every tooth. Extractions are unpleasant, but several scenarios present no other options. In these cases, extraction is the best way forward for the patient.
Meanwhile, some fractured teeth require extraction. Teeth can fracture for many reasons; fortunately, dentists can repair a lot. For example, teeth grinding can eventually result in tooth fractures, and so can repetitive biting of firm objects like ice or hard
candy. It’s crucial to treat any cracks or breaks as soon as possible before they affect the structure of the tooth. Once the fracture reaches the tooth’s root, a dentist cannot repair it. Fractures also happen due to sudden trauma, like a car accident, a fall, or a blow to the head. Again, dentists can repair some damage, but a split or cracked tooth often needs removal. Seeking immediate care is critical for the best possible outcome. We want to save as many natural teeth as possible, but some are beyond repair. These teeth will cause persistent pain and dangerous infections if left in place. Fortunately, patients have options to restore their smiles after an extraction, including implants and dentures. The result is a smile that is still beautiful but much healthier.
One of the most common causes of extractions is gum disease. A mild infection in the gums is called gingivitis, which is highly treatable if caught early. However, more advanced gum disease can affect the ligaments, bones, and teeth. When the infection has spread too far, a dentist must remove the tooth to prevent further harm. Other teeth must be removed due to significant decay of the tooth itself. Root canals can often resolve an infection that has reached the tooth pulp. But sometimes, the tooth is too far gone. The remaining portion of the tooth cannot structurally support a crown and must be removed to enable proper chewing and prevent additional infections.
