Tooth Extractions in Anchorage, AK

Reasons for Tooth Extraction:

• Severe Decay Due to Irreparable Tooth DamageIt happens if your tooth decay makes its way to the center of your tooth where it is nothing but pulp. At that point, bacteria caused by the decay can enter the pulp, and the infection will begin.If this happens, it will require a root canal that might help in treating the infection. If your infection is severe, then it may need the extraction to keep the infection from spreading.
• It Becomes a Reasonable Solution for Periodontal DiseaseInfections of the gums, alveolar bone, periodontal ligaments, and other structures that are around your teeth are called periodontal disease. The first stages of periodontal disease will be gingivitis, also known as an infection of the gums. The worse the periodontal disease you have, the more your alveolar bone and periodontal ligaments will be affected. The earliest stage of periodontal disease is gingivitis which is an infection of the gums. The more severe kind of periodontal disease will affect the alveolar bone and the periodontal ligaments. Bacteria causes periodontal disease in the dental plaque which is already a sticky substance that glues itself around your teeth after you have eaten and not brushed your teeth. It happens several hours after eating. If you brush your teeth regularly and see your dentist, it will help you most in preventing periodontal disease.
• Extraction Could Help Your Impacted Tooth When you have a tooth that gets impacted, it is blocked from coming out naturally, or your gums never completely erupted not letting the tooth come on out. It is the case most of the time for wisdom teeth. Anchorage Dental Arts, LLC might tell you that he/she recommends the impacted tooth be extracted to keep it from causing damage to your other teeth. By removing the impacted tooth, it could also help in lowering the chances of overcrowding and infection.
• To Keep Your Teeth from Being Overcrowded It may take extracting more than one tooth to keep the teeth from becoming overcrowded. It is recommended when you must have an orthodontic procedure, and the new teeth have a spot to move around and realign themselves. Anchorage Dental Arts, LLC will have our orthodontist check how crowded the teeth are and decide if there is room enough for the teeth to move and give the rest of the teeth enough space to align better. To recommend tooth/teeth extractions is only if there is not going to be enough space for your teeth to align or straighten out properly.
