Tooth Extractions Bethlehem

Ensuring Your Oral Health During Tooth Removal

In most cases, a simple filling or crown is often enough to address dental decay or damage. We may even perform a root canal when the problem proves more serious. However, when tooth extraction in Bethlehem is required, it’s likely because there is no other option. You are encouraged to call us and schedule an appointment at Penn Dental Arts if you are concerned your oral health might be at risk because of one or more severely decayed or damaged teeth.

When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

We may recommend this option if:

  • You display signs of advanced gum disease (periodontitis), and it is causing your bone to weaken and tooth or teeth to loosen.
  • Your tooth is badly damaged because of facial trauma and there is no way to save it with a root canal or dental crown.
  • You are experiencing dental decay that is spreading and putting your healthy teeth at risk of infection.
  • Your child’s permanent tooth is trying to erupt but cannot successfully because of a baby tooth that will not fall out on its own.
  • You need orthodontic treatment but require additional space to ensure your teeth move into the proper position.
