Extractions Don't Have to be a Pain
Contributed by DentalROIExtractions are necessary for many reasons. By following some simple tips, you can avoid many post-op complications and lessen your healing time to get back to normal as quickly as possible.
If a tooth is cracked below the gum, has a root fracture, or is periodontally involved and can't be saved, an extraction might be recommended to preserve nearby teeth or to prep the area for an implant or dentures. Sometimes a tooth or teeth need to be extracted before orthodontic treatment to make room for other teeth to shift into a better alignment.
