Top Reasons Not To Wait For A Tooth Extraction

No matter how old or young a patient is, tooth extractions remain one of the most feared dental procedures. For this reason, a visit to the Cincinnati dentist is not uncommon, but it is also one of the safest.

Avoid delaying your next dental appointment if you're worried about the possibility of tooth extraction. Consider why you should schedule your extraction sooner rather than later. There are several solid reasons to have a tooth extracted as soon as possible.

• Decay of the teeth
  A rotting tooth makes your mouth more susceptible to bacteria and illnesses. An abscess, or pus-filled pocket, can form if your blood vessels or nerves become infected. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, including:
• Feelings of discomfort that radiate from your jawbone to your ears or neck
• When exposed to extremes of temperature, one experiences sensitivity and suffering.
• Swelling of the face
• Breathing and swallowing difficulties

Symptoms of an abscessed tooth might be mild or persistent, but they will only worsen until you have the tooth removed. Removing an infected tooth as soon as possible is essential because the infection can spread to other regions of your body in extreme circumstances.

• Loss of Bones

Your teeth will continue to shift over time, resulting in jawbone injury. Bone loss is the primary cause of tooth shifting and misalignment due to periodontal disease. It may be difficult to chew and swallow properly. When periodontal disease causes teeth to shift, the best action is to have them extracted as soon as possible to prevent further harm to your mouth.

• Teeth that have been damaged or cracked in any way.

 A broken tooth is all it takes for an athlete to forget to wear a mouthguard and take an elbow to the face. A tooth can be injured in various ways unrelated to sports, such as biting down too hard on a piece of food or getting into a car accident.

A damaged tooth, like tooth decay, allows bacteria and infection to enter. If your teeth are chipped, broken, or otherwise damaged, you may experience pain while eating, drinking, or talking.

• The Third Molar

Without wisdom teeth, no discussion about tooth extraction is complete! A wisdom tooth that has been affected for a lengthy period can cause jawbone deterioration, tooth misalignment, and persistent pain. It can be excruciatingly painful to have impacted. Take a few days off work to recuperate after a wisdom tooth extraction.
