Reasons for Tooth Extraction
Dr. Boone performs extractions on children when necessary to keep their oral health optimal. Tooth extraction is typically considered when a patient has a constant and severe toothache. While relieving infection or uncomfortable symptoms is our dentist’s goal, it is not always possible, which is why removing the compromised tooth and discussing a replacement may be the best option. Our Grand Rapids dental team is conservative when administering care. If there is no way to save a tooth, we inform the patient right away so they may have it extracted quickly. This proves to be best for the patient’s oral health, as they do not have to undergo ineffective treatments.
Our dentist performs teeth extractions in the following circumstances:
- Primary teeth negatively affecting the eruption of permanent ones
- To prevent crowding
- Dental trauma
- Impaction
- Severe decay
In cases of severe decay, by extracting the tooth which contains the infection, it prevents the spread of bacteria from invading other healthy tissues. By removing future problematic teeth to avoid crowding or impaction, there is a reduced chance of your child’s smile becoming misaligned. Every step our dentist takes it to stop or keep oral health complications from occurring.
