A tooth extraction is the careful removal of a tooth that cannot be saved through a filling, crown, or root canal, whether due to severe decay, damage, infection, or overcrowding. Dr. Felten uses a gentle, comfort-focused approach for every extraction, and comfort options like nitrous oxide and oral sedation are available for patients who feel anxious about treatment.
Sometimes removing a tooth is the best way to protect the health of your mouth. Preventing the Spread of Infection: Removing a severely decayed or infected tooth helps stop the problem from affecting neighboring teeth. Relieving Pain: Extractions often provide immediate relief for patients dealing with severe tooth pain. Making Way for Better Treatment: In some cases, extracting a problematic tooth clears the way for orthodontic treatment or a more effective long-term restoration.
