Benefits of Tooth Extraction in Waco, TX
If you have the following conditions, a tooth extraction might benefit your oral health:
- You have moderate to severe tooth decay from untreated cavities
- You have a fractured tooth from a traumatic event earlier in your life
- You have an impacted tooth that may or may not have erupted from your gum line
- You have severe gum disease that caused your teeth roots to decay
Extractions Make Space for Teeth Straightening
Tooth extractions may sometimes be recommended prior to orthodontic treatment. Whether it’s traditional metal braces or Invisalign, removing one or more teeth can address overcrowding which can then be straightened and aligned by the braces or Invisalign clear aligners for a perfect smile.
