The suggestion to remove one of your natural teeth is sometimes met with hesitancy. After all, the goal of other oral health procedures is to preserve as much healthy part of your tooth as possible. Treatments such as dental crowns and fillings support your structure after physical trauma or decay, but sometimes an injury is beyond the reparative ability of these restorations. Therefore, when your dentist identifies the need for an extraction, more conservative options have been exhausted. It can provide comfort to know that this is often the first step in placing a prosthetic to replace your injured tooth.
