Tooth Extraction
When Tooth Extractions Are Necessary?
Accidents & Trauma
Unforeseen accidents or physical trauma can damage your teeth. Many times these events will chip or fracture your tooth beyond repair. In these rare incidences, the dentist will recommend extraction.
Tooth Infections
When a tooth infection penetrates the pulp, it will cause severe pain. If not treated immediately, the infection can spread and weaken your tooth. If your tooth is weak, it will be susceptible to fracture. At this point, the fractured tooth will need extracting.
Many times, patients feel they don’t need dental care after their pain went away. What they don’t realize is that the infection has killed off their pain-sensing nerves.
Economic Costs
For some patients, the cost to restore a tooth can be too high. Removing an infection from a tooth requires the root canal and dental restoration. This dental work can be cost-prohibitive for many. In these cases, it might make more economic sense to remove the problem tooth first. Then address the restoration later when capable.

Is The Extraction Painful?
Surprisingly, tooth extractions can be painless. For many, an infected or damaged tooth is the cause of their pain. So removing the source will bring excellent pain relief.
At Maz Endodontics, we go the extra mile to ensure your comfort. For any extraction, we can use local pain anesthetics. Our Beverly Hills dentist can also utilize IV sedation for patients. So now, patients with pain or anxiety fears can receive pain-free dental treatments.
How Long Is The Recovery Process?
What Are My Options To Replace The Missing Teeth?
What Happens If I Wait To Replace My Missing Tooth?
You may also wonder what will happen if you forgo getting a replacement tooth. This isn’t recommended since it will bring about its own unique set of issues long term. One is that your jawbone needs a tooth to provide resistance. This resistance is what keeps your jaw bone density stable. With no opposition, your jawbone will lose density. So if you decide to get an implant years later, you will need a bone graft to jump-start the bone density.
Another long term issue to consider is the stress and alignment of the jaw. Having a missing tooth will have you change your chewing habits. This can lead to compensations in your jaw mechanics. These compensations can lead to many imbalances, such as increased pressure and stress on teeth.
