When Tooth Extraction Becomes the Best Option
Sometimes a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or compromised to be saved, and in these cases, extraction is the healthiest choice for your smile and overall oral health. At Tulip Dental, we perform extractions with precision, care, and a focus on minimizing discomfort while planning the next steps to restore your function and aesthetics.
Here are the Most Common Situations Where We Recommend Tooth Extraction at Tulip Dental:

Severe Decay or Irreversible Damage
When a tooth is beyond repair due to deep decay or fractures, removing it prevents infection from spreading to surrounding teeth and gums.
- Comprehensive exam and X-rays to assess the extent of damage.
- Gentle extraction technique to preserve bone and gum tissue.
- Immediate infection control and cleaning of the extraction site.
- Planning for future restoration options like implants or bridges.

Advanced Gum Disease (Periodontal Damage)
Periodontal disease can weaken the bone and tissue supporting a tooth, making extraction necessary to protect nearby healthy teeth.
- Assessment of bone loss through periodontal charting and imaging.
- Removal of loose or severely compromised teeth.
- Thorough cleaning of the area to reduce bacteria and inflammation.
- Referral for periodontal therapy or restorative planning as needed.

Impacted or Problematic Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth that grow in at the wrong angle or fail to emerge fully can cause pain, infection, and crowding of other teeth.
- Panoramic X-rays to check position and root formation.
- Surgical or simple extraction depending on tooth location.
- Pain management with local anesthesia or sedation options.
- Post-op instructions for smooth healing and swelling control.
