Even though we try as much as we can to avoid extractions and prefer treating the diseased tooth and fixing the dental problem, sometimes tooth extractions are just necessary. If left in place, a decayed tooth beyond repair can cause more problems to the surrounding gum tissues and bone structure, eventually affecting your entire oral health negatively. At Yorkville Dental Arts, we’ll recommend the best restorative dental procedure for you, in case we must resort to tooth extractions for permanent teeth. Wisdom teeth, on the other hand, can sometimes cause more oral problems than being of use. Impacted wisdom teeth may cause damage to the adjacent teeth.
