Making The Logical Choice Between Tooth Extraction And Root Canal Treatment
Most dental care providers would likely agree that saving natural teeth is always a top priority and usually the best option. That said it is obvious that saving natural teeth is a worthy goal simply due to the fact that nothing can replace a patient’s own natural set. Keeping your own teeth is essential and important to enjoying life to the fullest. From eating the foods that you prefer to better oral functionality and a more genuine smile, natural teeth are really second to none.
The End Result Is That The Patient Benefits Substantially
Perhaps even more important is the fact that keeping your own natural teeth allows you to eat a more nutrition based and healthy diet. Any time it is suggested that teeth be extracted it is best to ask your dental care provider whether or not root canal treatment is a fair and reasonable option. When endodontic treatment combined with quality restoration work is performed in lieu of tooth extraction, the end result is that the patient benefits substantially. As an added bonus, endodontic treatment or root canal is simply more cost-effective overall then extraction
A Bridge Demands More Time and Treatment
This is due to the fact that tooth extraction must usually be followed by an implant or the placement of a bridge. With very high success rates, endodontic treatment is intended and designed to last a lifetime. Conversely, a dental implant or the placement of a bridge demands more time in treatment and potentially further procedures at a later time. These additional procedures may also involve the modification of adjacent teeth as well as supporting tissue.
