Why Does My Tooth Need to Be Extracted?
Although your teeth are durable and can provide you with decades of functionality, they're susceptible to wear and trauma. When your tooth's structure has been impacted by severe decay or a deep break in its protective enamel, harmful bacteria can enter and compromise the integrity of your tooth. Unfortunately, a decayed or damaged tooth can significantly impact your oral health and body-wide well-being, especially when an infection is present. When this happens, your tooth may need to be removed to protect your smile.
Some of the most common reasons your tooth may need to be extracted include:
- Tooth Decay: Tooth decay or cavities are holes that form on the surface of your teeth. Plaque buildup, overconsuming sugar, and poor oral hygiene can lead to tooth cavities. Although decay can be treated if caught in its initial stages, advanced tooth decay can compromise your tooth's structure and potentially infect it. If left unaddressed, it can necessitate tooth removal.
- Gum Disease: Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is one of the most common causes of tooth loss in the United States. The initial stage of gum disease, gingivitis, is characterized by swollen and irritated gums and can be reversed through proper oral hygiene. However, once gum disease progresses to a certain stage, bacteria can eat away at your gum tissue, expose your tooth roots, and infiltrate your jawbones, leading to tooth loss.
- Trauma: Various situations like car accidents and sports injuries can damage your tooth and loosen it to the point where it must be extracted. When your tooth has been damaged down to the roots because of trauma, failure to act can lead to an infection that can spread throughout your smile. No matter the nature of your tooth's trauma, our Boynton Beach tooth removal team can extract it and protect your oral health.
How We Approach Dental Extraction
When you first meet with our dentist and their team, we'll ask you various questions about your tooth. Has it been causing you pain, and if so, how bad is it? Have you noticed extensive bleeding from around your tooth? Did you recently get injured with your teeth being the main point of contact? From there, we'll conduct an extensive oral exam that looks at the condition of your teeth and gums. Finally, our talented dentist will create your personalized extraction plan.
Extractions FAQs
Tooth extraction can be a major decision for any patient, and it's normal to have questions about it. Whether you'd like to know how long recovery takes or if you need to alter your oral health routine following extraction, our team is here to give you the answers you need. Some of the most frequently asked questions about our Boynton Beach tooth removal services include:
If you properly care for your smile following extraction, you can expect your gums to heal anywhere from 7-14 days. However, it's important to note that any trauma to the area can extend your healing times.
We recommend that, for your safety and comfort, you take the rest of the day off to recover following your extraction. Our experienced dentist may also recommend that you refrain from heavy lifting 1-3 days after your procedure.
During your initial visit, our dentist will sit down with you and determine whether extraction is necessary and how many teeth need to be removed. If you do need multiple teeth removed, they'll decide if extracting them during the same appointment is the best course of action.
