3 common reasons for getting
teeth pulled
Infection - Tooth decay or tooth infection can happen in a
tooth and cause swelling to the tooth’s pulp. The bacteria can build up in the
teeth, which can be remedied by having a root canal procedure. Sometimes, root
canals can aid the teeth enough so that the patient does not need to extract
the teeth. However, if the infection is severe, root canals may not be able to
cure it, and risk of spreading the infection to other parts of the face and
head are possible. Any risk of infection
to the teeth in general can be harmful to one’s immune system, as the infection
can spread to the blood stream. To avoid this, taking out the teeth that cause
the infection is vital.
Crowded Mouth - Some dentists want to align the teeth using
orthodontia, but that may not be possible if the teeth are too big and cause
overcrowding in one’s mouth. If a tooth also cannot be realign without risk of
breaking a gum, it may be necessary to have the tooth extracted.
Periodontal Gum Disease - Periodontal Gum Disease can cause the
teeth to loosen as it infects and weakens the bones that support and surround
the teeth. To avoid excess pain and
infection, extraction may be necessary.
Extractions are avoidable if the infections are not that severe.
Immediate root canal procedures or improvements in dental care at the onset of
gum disease could divert a patient off the tooth extraction track. However, in
order to ensure that infection will not spread in your body treating other
physical health problems, a tooth extraction deem necessary.
