What happens when a tooth cannot be saved? Once it is determined that a tooth cannot be reconstructed or that the risk of keeping it in the mouth is greater than the benefit, tooth extraction is then performed. This may be recommended for many reasons, from very extensive cavities or teeth with a very pronounced mobility, to orthodontic indications due to lack of space or wisdom teeth.
Tooth extraction can be simple or complex, depending on the conditions of the tooth, and once extracted, as there is a space in such a small cavity, multiple consequences are usually observed, such as the displacement of other teeth into the space, changes in the bite, accumulation of food, development of caries and periodontal pockets in the teeth adjacent to the space, to name a few of them. It is therefore essential, once the healing period is over, to replace the tooth either with dental implants or prostheses. Trust in 32Dental for this treatment.
