How You Can Need a Tooth Extracted Even If You Are Not in Pain

TORONTO - May 3, 2024 - PRLog -- It is understandable that when you are experiencing intense tooth pain, you promptly go to the dentist to get it taken care of. So, it might not be a complete surprise if you are informed that you need to have a tooth removed. But when you are not experiencing any pain or discomfort, it can be shocking to learn from your dentist that you need to have a tooth removed. We are going to go over the situations you might be in where you will need to have a tooth removed, even if you are pain free.

Severe Tooth Decay

If you have a cavity for an extended period of time and do got get it treated, this can allow it to burrow deep within your tooth and eventually become very infected. When this happens, it usually means that your tooth can not be saved and will need to be removed, even if you do not have any pain associated with the infected tooth. If you have a late stage infection in your tooth, it can damage the nerve within the tooth. Which leads to why you might not be feeling any pain because the nerve is damaged and unable to send signals of pain to your brain. So even if you are not feeling any there might be severe decay happening that required a tooth to be removed.

Overcrowded Teeth

If you have too many teeth in your mouth, this does not necessarily mean you will feel discomfort. But this is problematic and challenging for orthodontic treatments. When your jaw is not big enough to comfortably support all your adult teeth, one recommendation your dentist might make is to remove some teeth, depending on how bad the overcrowding is, so that more space is available to align the rest of your teeth. You might only need one tooth removed in order to effectively receive orthodontic treatment. Removing teeth does not mean that your smile's appearance and function will be diminished but enhanced.
