Dr. Valerio may recommend a tooth extraction for several reasons, including severe decay, advanced periodontal disease, irreparable damage, or poor positioning, often in preparation for orthodontic treatment. Removing a tooth can help prevent infection, issues with chewing, jaw joint problems, and misalignment of other teeth.
Before proceeding with extraction, Dr. Valerio will discuss alternative treatments and options for replacing the extracted tooth to ensure the best outcome for your dental health. We aim to schedule your appointment promptly, especially if you’re experiencing pain or an emergency situation, and will do our best to see you on the same day.
We appreciate your understanding and patience and look forward to assisting you!
