tooth extraction Glynneath
Our dentists will do all they can to ensure your teeth are healthy, strong and last a lifetime, but occasionally it becomes necessary to remove a natural tooth, either to preserve the health of the surrounding teeth or to remove an unhealthy tooth.
If your tooth is decayed or damaged and cannot be repaired with a filling or crown, your dentist may decide to remove (extract) the tooth as a last resort.
Reasons to have a tooth removed
There are many reasons in which you may need to have a tooth removed, these include:
- A broken tooth that cannot be repaired
- Severe tooth decay
- Crowded teeth when there is not enough space on your gum
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Removing teeth to allow room for braces, so teeth can shift into place
- Patients undergoing chemotherapy or having an organ transplant may need damaged teeth removed to maintain healthy oral hygiene
FAQs
Will I feel pain during a tooth extraction procedure?
Our highly trained team of dental professionals always ensure you are fully numb around the area where the tooth is being removed before starting the procedure. If at any point you feel any discomfort, we tend to immediately stop and reassess, sometimes we may just have to give slightly more anaesthetic!
