When you think of a tooth extraction, you may imagine a treatment<\/a> to fix toothaches. This idea wouldn\u2019t be entirely wrong; removing teeth can stop their pain. Still, the truth is that dentists must sometimes extract a tooth that doesn\u2019t ache at all. They can have good reasons besides pain to remove pearly whites, thus ensuring your smile stays strong. As proof of that fact, here are four factors that can force a dentist to extract a pain-free tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Tooth is Decayed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While dentists strive to treat cavities with fillings or crowns, those procedures aren\u2019t always viable. At times, a decayed tooth must be removed even when it doesn\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issue is that a large cavity can threaten a tooth\u2019s structure. If left unchecked, the decay would then cause your pearly white to stop working well. It could even reach dental nerves and cause complications over time. Given such things, a dentist may need to extract the tooth to preserve your oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tooth is Infected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most tooth infections can be treated with root canals, but advanced ones aren\u2019t so lucky. Severely infected teeth need removal whether they ache or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, an infected tooth won\u2019t just fix itself. Its bacteria will spread to your jaw and other body parts if not treated, putting you at risk of sepsis. Removing the tooth before that happens is the better option, even when it doesn\u2019t cause pain. (The severe infection may have killed the tooth\u2019s nerves in the first place.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mouth is Crowded<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Though it may not hurt, a dentist must often remove a tooth if it lacks space in your mouth. Doing so can prevent a wide range of oral problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a mouth becomes overcrowded, it causes all sorts of issues for you. Some more common ones include misaligned teeth, tooth impaction, oral pain, etc. Assuming you\u2019d like to avoid those outcomes, a dentist will remove the teeth you don\u2019t have room for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gums are Diseased<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While gum disease isn\u2019t strictly a tooth problem, it can force dentists to extract certain teeth. That much applies even when said teeth don\u2019t irritate you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget that your gum tissue keeps your teeth secure and stable. When it becomes diseased or infected, it\u2019ll often erode and cause a tooth or two to come loose. You\u2019d then need to remove the loose teeth to avoid a more painful tooth loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, a dentist may extract a tooth that doesn\u2019t ache for various reasons. Keep that in mind as you look into treatment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
