The Importance of Tooth Extractions at an Emergency Dentistry Office

Many emergency dentistry situations require dental extractions. Removing the problematic tooth can improve your dental health. A dental fracture that goes below the gum line often requires extraction. Severe tooth decay that has destroyed most of the tooth structure may also require extraction. Dental abscesses that cannot be treated with a root canal may necessitate removal. Impacted wisdom teeth that are causing pain, infection, or crowding often need to be extracted. Following an emergency extraction, your dentist will discuss replacement options such as implants, bridges, or dentures.
