A tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth is too damaged or infected to be repaired with a filling, crown or root canal.
Common signs that you may need a tooth extraction in Charlestown include:
- Persistent pain
- Severe decay
- Swelling
- Infection around the tooth and loosening caused by gum disease
In some cases, a tooth may need to be removed to make space for orthodontic treatment or to treat an impacted tooth, such as a wisdom tooth that hasn’t fully erupted.
Your Charlestown dentist begins with a thorough examination and digital imaging to determine the best course of action. Extraction is generally considered a last resort, used only when preserving the natural tooth isn’t possible or could risk the health of surrounding teeth.
At Charlestown Dental Care, we focus on providing gentle, comfortable care with modern techniques. After your extraction, we’ll also discuss options for replacing the missing tooth to help maintain your bite and oral health.
