Some of the most common dental services provided by our
Plymouth Township dentist at Cavalier Family Dental are tooth extractions. Commonly known as “having a tooth pulled,” tooth extractions can be necessary for a number of reasons. If you have a tooth that has decayed to the point where it is not worth preserving through a dental filling or dental crown, our Plymouth township dentist might recommend that you have it extracted. A dentist or orthodontist might also recommend that a tooth be extracted if it is causing crowding that would inhibit future dental work. If you have a tooth that has decayed to the point where the pulp, a conglomeration of soft tissue at the center of the tooth, has been infected with bacteria, the tooth may need to be extracted.

Similarly, if you have a systemic illness that has compromised your immune system, even the risk of a tooth becoming infected may mean that it has to be extracted for your personal safety. If you have an advanced case of periodontal disease, in which the infection has caused a loosening of the teeth, our
Plymouth Township dentist may recommend that you have the affected teeth extracted as well. Most tooth extractions involve local anesthesia in order to numb the area and keep you from feeling any pain during the procedure. We can offer you the option of replacing the tooth that has been extracted with a dental implant if you are concerned about having teeth missing.
