Tooth Extractions Raleigh

Safe Removal of Unhealthy Teeth

If you are like most people, you have many different goals in life. However, keeping all of your natural teeth may not be something you think is necessary to add to your list, especially if you assume you’ll never need to worry about tooth loss. Unfortunately, tooth extractions remain a service many dentists offer but never wish to perform.

At Falls Family Dental, Dr. Thore provides both tooth extractions and wisdom tooth extractions here in Raleigh. She will always recommend other restorative dentistry treatments to try and save an unhealthy tooth, but if none of the services prove helpful, the last resort will often be to remove it. Call us today if you or a loved one require further examination for a problem tooth.

When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

When examining your mouth, Dr. Thore will recommend tooth removal if:

• You have an impacted wisdom tooth that is pressing against healthy teeth and pushing them out of alignment.
• There is a cyst forming near the infected tooth.
• A serious infection (abscess) is putting your nearby healthy teeth at risk.
• You have advanced gum disease that is causing gum recession and bone loss, resulting in a loose tooth.
• Your child’s baby tooth is not showing signs of falling out, but their permanent tooth is trying to erupt.
• You have suffered a broken tooth that cannot be treated with a dental crown or root canal.
• Severe dental decay is present and spreading.
