As surprising as this information might be, you may begin to wonder why it is necessary to undergo a<a href=\"https:\/\/devotedfamilydental.mydentalconsult.com\/tooth-extractions.html\"> tooth extraction in Phoenix<\/a>. Is there not another way? To help bring a bit of clarity to the subject, a local dentist shares a few of the most common reasons why tooth removal is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Severe Periodontitis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gum disease that is left untreated will aggressively worsen, resulting in severe periodontitis. What once started (and is reversible) as gingivitis suddenly progresses to loosened teeth and jawbone deterioration. When this happens, it is often that a dentist must recommend a tooth extraction. While a bone graft and regular periodontal therapy are possible, it is not always successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the infection attacks the bone and teeth, it can cause such significant damage that the only viable solution is to remove the affected teeth and discuss ways to replace them (i.e., dental bridges, dentures, or dental implants).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impacted Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is normal for many patients with wisdom teeth to face impaction. These third molars often do not have enough room to erupt, causing them to remain beneath the gum line and press against nearby healthy teeth. As a result, inflammation, tenderness, discomfort, and potentially damaging misalignment can occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With tooth extraction, though, a dentist can surgically remove the impacted tooth, giving the mouth the space it needs and improving the health of the rest of your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reduce Overcrowding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have one too many teeth, suffer from hyperdontia, or need to undergo orthodontic treatment to correct a misalignment issue, it may be necessary for a dentist to remove one or more teeth. If it is due to the latter, and you need orthodontic treatment to address a problem that is negatively impacting your oral and\/or facial structure, your dentist can help to ensure successful results by performing a tooth extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may not be the news you want to hear, but you must remember that only in cases where other options are simply not possible will your dentist recommend the removal of one or more teeth. When talking to your dental professional, make sure to clarify their reasons for extractions in Phoenix. You will need to be comfortable and confident in your decision to move forward with the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><br>Dr. John Ludu is a dentist in Phoenix who understands the idea of tooth extractions can be a bit scary for some patients.
