4 Signs You Need a Tooth Extraction

Posted on 6/21/2021 by Beautiful Smiles Office

Tooth extraction is generally perceived to be a painful procedure. However, having an aching tooth pulled out provides a much needed relief from everyday pain.

At Beautiful Smiles, Dr. James Yang and James Yang DDS can provide expert diagnosis for your dental woes and offer effective remedial measures. Here are X tell-tale signs that you need a tooth pulled out:

Overcrowding

It is common for the mouth to lack space for all the teeth to fit properly. If this happens, your teeth are likely to grow crooked or misaligned. Overcrowding can also be caused if some teeth shift to the wrong position or one big tooth crowds the whole set of teeth. In this case, tooth extraction will create more space in your mouth and facilitate their natural and healthy positioning.

Impaction

Impaction is when a tooth is unable to emerge from the gums. It is a painful condition which requires surgical extraction. Wisdom teeth are most likely to get impacted. If your wisdom tooth remains lodged in the bone and causes pain, it is time to consult a dentist.

Gum Disease

Neglecting oral health can eventually lead to gum disease. Accumulation of tartar can give birth to germs that gnaw at the bones supporting your teeth. This may cause teeth to rot and result in difficulty with chewing. Before bacteria spreads from one tooth to another, it is best to get the infected one extracted. However, gum disease is usually treated without extraction, unless the case is serious.

Broken Tooth

Ac accident or injury can cause teeth to break. Broken teeth are generally repaired using crowns, but this may not be possible in every case. When a tooth breaks off below the gum line, it becomes necessary to surgically remove the remaining bits of the tooth.

With advancements in dental technology, tooth extraction has become a relatively quick and hassle-free process. If you are suffering from tooth pain, schedule a visit with us at Beautiful Smiles by calling us at Beautiful Smiles.
