Pain relief

In many instances, an extraction means relief from tooth pain. Whether it’s from trauma, decay, or something else, you will be free from the pain of the tooth once it is removed.

Preventative

A dentist may recommend a tooth extraction before you are even experiencing pain as a precautionary measure, such as when there is not enough space for wisdom teeth to grow in.

Room for a new smile
