1. Severe, Unrelenting Tooth Pain
Persistent tooth pain is one of the most obvious indicators of a problem. Whether it’s a sharp, stabbing sensation or a dull, throbbing ache, this discomfort could mean the nerve or pulp of your tooth is significantly damaged or infected. While root canal therapy can often address such issues, there are cases where the damage is too extensive, and extracting the tooth is the best solution to relieve pain and restore your oral health.
At Cary Family Dental, we’ll carefully evaluate the source of your discomfort and recommend the most effective treatment.
2. Infection or Abscess
An abscessed tooth—a pocket of pus caused by bacterial infection—is not just painful but can also pose risks to your overall health. Left untreated, the infection can spread to nearby teeth, gums, or even other parts of your body. If antibiotics or other treatments aren’t effective, an extraction might be necessary to prevent further complications.
Our team offers compassionate care and uses advanced technology to minimize discomfort during this process, ensuring a smooth experience for every patient.
3. Overcrowding
If your teeth are too close together or misaligned, overcrowding might require one or more teeth to be pulled. This is especially common in preparation for orthodontic treatments like braces or Invisalign, where making space for proper alignment is essential.
Dr. Allan Acton and his team are experienced in assessing cases of overcrowding and coordinating with orthodontists to create a treatment plan that optimizes the results while keeping you comfortable throughout the process.
4. Advanced Gum Disease
Gum disease, particularly in its advanced stages, can weaken the tissues and bone that support your teeth. When this happens, a tooth may become loose, and extraction can be the best way to protect your surrounding teeth and gums from further damage.
By addressing gum disease proactively and removing any severely compromised teeth, our team helps preserve your long-term oral health.
5. Damage Beyond Repair
Accidents, sports injuries, or severe tooth decay can sometimes lead to irreparable damage. If a tooth is cracked, shattered, or too decayed to restore with a crown or other treatment, extraction often becomes necessary.
At Cary Family Dental, our focus is always on your comfort and peace of mind. We use cutting-edge tools and provide personalized amenities to ensure you receive care that is gentle and stress-free.
