The Benefits Of Having A Tooth Removed Or Extracted
A tooth typically needs to be removed or extracted for three reasons:
- The tooth has been damaged by decay, disease, or infection and cannot be corrected with restorative dentistry treatment
- An injury has caused too much harm to the tooth for it to be left in place
- Wisdom teeth are causing dental issues, including daily discomfort
Leaving a damaged or problematic tooth in your smile only harms your other teeth, your oral health, and possibly even your overall health. If a tooth must be removed, Dr. Carol, Dr. Carolyn Duong, or Dr. Roberto will:
- Ensure your mouth is fully numbed so you feel no pain during your procedure
- Offer two choices of relaxation dentistry:
- Free laughing gas, which is inhaled, works quickly and soothes your nerves
- An oral conscious option, taken in pill form, which is stronger and places you in a peaceful state of drowsiness just on the brink of sleep
Tooth Removal and Tooth Extraction at Gentle Family Dentists has the most patient-friendly techniques to prevent unnecessary trauma to your teeth or jaw. You’ll then be provided with helpful information to make sure your mouth heals as quickly and comfortably as possible.
Dr. Carol Moreno is a fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry and has been president of the organization several times. She is also a recipient of the Humanitarian Award from AGD.
