Is Extracting Teeth Bad?
When it comes to your teeth, is going au natural the right choice? Many of our patients who experience problems with their teeth wonder about whether it’s better to keep all of your natural teeth or simply extract them.
The simple answer is that while there are instances where removing a tooth instead of treating it is the simpler option, 90% of the time we recommend saving your natural teeth.
Why is it important to keep a full set of teeth?
There are actually a few reasons:
- Avoiding teeth extraction helps prevent adjacent and opposing teeth from moving or being otherwise negatively impacted.
- When it comes to chewing, we want to make sure that your chewing forces are spread out over as many teeth as possible.
- Last, but most definitely not least, we want you to keep a beautiful, full smile!
