Simple Extractions
If you have sought professional treatment and have found no other way, sometimes a tooth just has to go. Extraction is usually the last resort, but if it endangers the health of the surrounding area, it’s better to remove the problem rather than risk it’s affecting your overall well-being.
The adept team at John R Berry DDS of Forrest City, AR, is proud to serve the local community with excellent dental care, including extractions (as needed), so that you can take back control of your life.
What are Simple Extractions?
We may be able to save your tooth during your visit. We try to preserve as much of the natural tooth as possible and will explore other options – such as using a crown to reinforce a cracked tooth.
If necessary, simple extractions are a routine dental procedure for removing teeth that are easily accessible and have healthy roots. Unlike surgical extractions, which may involve removing bone or stitching, simple extractions are typically straightforward and require minimal recovery time.
Here are some other reasons why you may need an extraction:
- Wisdom Teeth: Those pesky wisdom teeth often erupt, causing pain, crowding, or infection. A simple extraction can remove them before they cause problems.
- Impacted Teeth: Sometimes, a tooth gets stuck beneath the gum line and needs gentle coaxing (or extraction) to emerge correctly.
- Baby Teeth: There comes a time for everything, even baby teeth! If a baby’s tooth just isn’t falling out naturally and causing problems, a simple extraction may be recommended.
Removing a tooth doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. If a tooth has been stuck beneath the gumline and is causing you pain, contact us immediately so we can look at it.
