Often enough, people assume they should only get a tooth extracted<\/a> when it aches. Any teeth free of pain are surely well enough to save or salvage, or so the assumption goes. You\u2019d actually be wrong to hold this assumption, though; there can be good reasons to extract a tooth that doesn\u2019t hurt. Your Lutz dentist will even share some with you here and now. So, just keep reading to discover things that\u2019d justify an extraction of your ache-free tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You Have a Crowded Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If a tooth doesn\u2019t have enough room in your mouth, a dentist will have to extract it. Such treatment would be necessary even when the pearly white doesn\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, leaving the tooth alone would cause an overcrowded mouth. The latter condition causes problems like misaligned teeth, impacted teeth, oral pain, and so on. Unless you\u2019re willing to bear those issues, you should let your dentist extract the tooth you lack space for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Have Severe Tooth Decay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can often save decayed teeth with fillings or crowns, but those options don\u2019t always work. Sometimes the decay is so severe that the tooth must be removed, whether or not it aches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most patients don\u2019t know, but a large cavity can threaten a tooth\u2019s structure. Such advanced decay would cause your pearly white to stop working well. Indeed, it\u2019s likely to reach your dental nerves and cause various oral health dilemmas. A dentist would need to extract your tooth to prevent these larger threats to your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Have a Tooth Infection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a really bad tooth infection, extraction is likely the only (and best) option. Deeply infected teeth need removal regardless of their pain levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A harsh tooth infection will only get worse over time. As it proceeds, its bacteria will spread to other body parts and potentially trigger sepsis. Removal is thus the superior choice; it certainly beats a life-threatening condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Have Gum Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if a tooth doesn\u2019t hurt, a dentist may need to extract it because you have gum disease. An infection of your gums can force such removal work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact remains that gum tissue keeps your smile secure. Once it\u2019s severely infected, it\u2019ll steadily start to erode and cause existing teeth to become unstable. To avoid painful tooth loss in that case, a dentist may advise having a pearly white or two removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may need to extract a tooth that doesn\u2019t hurt someday. With that said, remember to keep the points above in mind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
