Tooth Extractions
Tooth Extractions in Metro Houston
Tooth extractions may be necessary for a variety of oral health care reasons, including excessive dental decay, tooth infection, broken teeth and gum disease. Removal may also be performed for aesthetic reasons, for pre-treatment for orthodontics and for teeth that cannot be restored. The expert dental health team at Oral Dental Health, Metro Houston, Texas, can determine what is the most-effective dental and oral health treatment for you and discuss if tooth extraction is necessary.
When Tooth Extractions Are a Necessary Dental Procedure
Tooth extractions are generally considered as the last resort in dental treatment. Teeth are extracted in situations where no other dental treatment is deemed feasible to provide a successful solution to dental decay, infection or other issue. The dental care team at Oral Dental Health of Metro Houston takes on a careful approach to consideration of tooth extraction. Only after all other dental treatment methods are exhausted will tooth extraction be considered. Meanwhile, tooth extraction is a relatively common dental procedure. The complexity of the procedure varies, ranging from a simple tooth extraction to a surgical tooth extraction below the gumline. In any case of tooth extraction, care is taken to make the procedure as precise and pain-free as possible. Local anesthesia is typically used during a tooth extraction.
Tooth extraction are often performed in cases in which there are no other viable solutions to save a tooth or when the mouth is overcrowded with teeth. Tooth extraction can take place in cases involving:
- Crowded teeth
- Diseased teeth
- Infected teeth
- Orthodontic treatment
- Non-restorable teeth
- Wisdom teeth
Complete Dental Care, Including Tooth Extraction
There are dental health situations when the most-effective procedure is tooth extraction. The decision to perform a tooth extraction follows a careful examination to determine if any other dental procedure can save a tooth. A tooth extraction helps to prevent a damaged tooth from spreading infection to other teeth or the jaw. And, a bridge or implant can fill the gap left by an extracted tooth.
