Tooth Extractions in Lawrence, KS
Restore Your Dental Health with Teeth Extractions from Wakarusa Family Dental
Tooth extractions may be necessary for a myriad of reasons including an emergency tooth injury, wisdom teeth removal, ongoing and unaddressed tooth pain, failed root canals, and severely decayed teeth. Together with
our dentist, you may determine that you need to remove a tooth. Teeth extractions may also be desirable if you have advanced gum disease, or have broken a tooth in a manner that it isn't able to be repaired. In other cases, a tooth removal in Lawrence, KS, may keep your other teeth from crowding, or address impacted teeth, or be important in preparation for orthodontic care.
Why You May Need Tooth Removal?
Emergency Tooth Extraction
When you have experienced extended tooth pain that is intense and persistent, it is time to
call our dentist to address your toothache. This doesn't always mean you'll need a tooth extraction, but it does mean you need to determine why your tooth is throbbing. After assessing your teeth with our team, you may discern that you have a tooth infection that is treatable. Additionally, if you have painful swelling in your gums or along the jaw, you may have a possible abscess that needs to be treated right away. Finally, if you have recently experienced tooth damage like a chipped tooth or a cracked tooth, it is important to visit our dentist office in Lawrence, KS, as soon as you can. Though these conditions do not always require tooth removal, a tooth extraciton is more likely the longer you wait to get help.
Teeth Extractions Because of Decay
Severe tooth decay can also be a reason to have teeth removed. When your teeth experience aggressive decay it is often because of calcium deficiency or neglect of ongoing dental care. When the soft center of your tooth, called pulp, becomes infected your Lawrence dentist will often suggest root canal therapy. However, when root canal treatment or retreatment is no longer able to relieve tooth pain, it may be time to have the tooth removed.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Young adults between the ages of 17 and 25 often choose to have their wisdom teeth removed to reduce the pain of impacted teeth. Wisdom teeth removal in Lawrence, KS, is common because wisdom teeth grow in after your permanent teeth and this extra set of molars apply pressure on your preexisting teeth causing sensitivity, and in the worst case, causing movement of your other teeth. Especially when you have already had orthodontic treatment for straighter teeth, wisdom tooth removal can ensure your teeth remain aligned and prevent overcrowding.
