Tooth Extractions Sycamore

Removing Problematic Teeth for a Healthier Foundation

While our top priority is always to preserve your natural teeth at all costs, there are some situations in which we may need to extract a tooth in order to do this. Although it may sound backward, some dental concerns can spread to surrounding teeth, like decay and infections. Because of this, removing a severely damaged or problematic tooth can actually be a net positive for your oral health. Request an appointment today to learn more about tooth extractions in Sycamore or schedule an emergency examination.

When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

We may recommend a tooth extraction in the following situations:

• A tooth is severely damaged and cannot be repaired.
• Decay has caused a large portion of your tooth to erode.
• Infection has spread to the roots of a tooth and cannot be treated with a root canal.
• You cannot successfully undergo orthodontic treatment due to crowding.
• A tooth is impacted below the gumline.
