By Arcade Dental / May 21, 2019

Tooth extractions in dental clinic are usually the last resort. Your dentist would not suggest an extraction unless it becomes inevitable. That is to say, that when the infection in your tooth has not only the roots but also gone down further to the base, such a situation arises. At the juncture where a root canal would not yield the desired results, in order to deal with the infection effectively, the tooth extraction stands out to be the only option.

A tooth extraction is typically a ‘same-day affair’ after you visit your dental office. Once done, or even before going in for the procedure, you can discuss the restorative options with your dentist. Dental science today has a number of solutions to the issue of a missing tooth in order to redo your extracted tooth. You need to consult your dentist to get the best recommendation for yourself and decide as to which method of restoration you wish to adapt for yourself!

Denture Adjustments:

Dentures are sometimes responsible for soreness. This is because, the dentures might fit too tightly on your gums exerting unwanted pressure on them. In such cases, these restorations need to be adjusted.
