Whenever possible, we try to save your tooth with treatments like a filling, crown, or root canal. But an extraction may be the safest option when the tooth is beyond repair or putting your health at risk. Common reasons include severe decay, infection/abscess, advanced gum disease (loose teeth), cracked roots, or teeth removed for orthodontic space. Some cases also become urgent, especially if you have facial swelling, pus, fever, or pain that keeps getting worse. If you’re unsure, we can assess your symptoms and help you decide quickly.
