What To Avoid

What To Avoid When It Comes To Tooth Extractions

It is a proven fact that tooth extractions are all too common today. In truth, there are many cases that can be treated through the use of modern endodontics so as to avoid losing a natural tooth. Here are a few important considerations that patients should consider when it comes to tooth extraction decision-making. For example, never choose a tooth extraction simply because it is a cheaper option. A tooth extraction typically results in the necessity of having some type of artificial tooth procedure performed.

Dental Functionality

Replacing an extracted tooth is important because it will prevent other natural teeth from shifting and thereby causing additional dental problems. In many cases the cost of a bridge, denture or dental implant along with the cost of extraction is more than the cost of having root canal treatment. Best of all, endodontic care or root canal procedures typically result in natural teeth lasting for many years and even decades. This also results in healthier tooth functionality and improved appearance.

Completely Painless

In addition, patients should know that root canal treatment is virtually painless. That is why it’s important to never avoid root canal simply because of the belief that it may be painful. As a matter of fact, root canal treatment can be expected to be less painful than having a tooth extracted. Many studies and much research on patients having a root canal have indicated that root canal is almost completely painless. Finally, those who choose tooth extraction because they think it is quick and easy are likely making a mistake. Endodontic treatment only requires one or two visits.
