How is a tooth extraction determined?
Good morning. Many factors can cause a tooth ache and many factors determine if the tooth needs to be extracted or it can be saved with a root filling and crown. It depends on how severely broken down the tooth is and how severely infected it is. The longer you wait the greater the risk for a tooth extraction. We always strive to preserve nature and we strive to keep your tooth if possible and that's why we encourage 6 month checks ups to catch the little issues before they become large problems. Fear is a big factor in prevention, it's mostly fear of the unknown and our goal is to try and answer as many questions as possible to get rid of that fear, but strongly encourage you to schedule a consultation visit. Sincerely, Williamsburg Dental Works READ MORE
