Even though this may sound like a quick and simple fix,\nthis option should only be used if your tooth cannot be saved by a root canal.\nYour <a href=\"https:\/\/www.donlandsfamilydentistry.ca\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency\ndentist<\/a> shares some benefits of saving your natural tooth if you are able\nto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s More Affordable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you first get a quote from your dentist, it may appear\nthat a simple tooth extraction is a more affordable option. However, when you\nhave a tooth removed, you should replace it with an implant or another tooth\nreplacement option. If you don\u2019t, you will eventually have other problems in\nyour mouth like misalignment and jawbone deterioration. Having a tooth pulled\nisn\u2019t just a one step process. By saving your tooth, you are preventing\nyourself from needing to invest in other treatments to maintain the integrity of\nyour smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Saving Your Tooth is Less Painful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Root canals have a bad rep of being extremely painful. The\ntruth is that with modern anesthetics and dental technology, getting a root\ncanal is usually no worse than having a deep filling. The procedure is\npractically pain-free. On the other hand, extracting a tooth, especially a molar,\nrequires aftercare and can be painful when you are recovering. You will be\nsaving yourself more pain in the long run by opting for a root canal instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s Safer to Save Your Natural Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you get a root canal, you are much less likely to get\nfuture infections than after a tooth extraction. This is especially a problem\nif your infected tooth is a molar, which is harder to extract. By preserving\nyour natural tooth, you can prevent infection from spreading into the bloodstream\nand causing serious problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Will Maintain Your Natural Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have a tooth pulled, it doesn\u2019t just affect that one\ntooth. In fact, when your natural tooth root is gone, your jaw will begin to\ndeteriorate in that area. This will take away from your facial structure and eventually\ngive you a more aged appearance. By keeping your natural tooth, you can take years\noff of how you look and stay confident!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if having your tooth pulled seems like the easiest way out, that option should be reserved only for situations when the natural tooth cannot be saved. A root canal treatment is usually a better option than tooth extractions and you will be preserving the beautiful, natural smile you already have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you\u2019re in a lot of pain because of an infection or otherwise, you may feel inclined to have the tooth extracted and have it replaced with an implant.
