Top Signs You Need A Dental Extraction

Nobody wants to go through a dental extraction, but sometimes it is necessary. If you are experiencing any of the following signs, you may need dental help right away: severe toothache, swollen gums, fever, and pus drainage from the gums.

That’s why the Boise dentists at Summit Dental Group would like to discuss the top five signs that you need a dental extraction. If you are experiencing any of these signs, it’s essential to seek help right away.

Constant Toothaches

One of the most common signs that you need a dental extraction is if you have a constant toothache. This can be a sign of an abscessed tooth, which is a serious infection. If you have an abscessed tooth, it means that pus and bacteria are trapped in your tooth. This can cause severe pain and swelling.

Swelling in Your Gums

Another common sign that you may need a dental extraction is if you have swelling in your gums. This can be a sign of gum disease or an abscessed tooth. If you have gum disease, it means that your gums are inflamed and infected. Gum disease is caused by plaque and tartar build-up on your teeth. This can cause severe pain and swelling.

Fever

If you have a fever, it can be a sign of an infection. If you have an infection in your mouth, it can spread to other parts of your body and cause a fever.

Pus Drainage from Your Gums

Another common sign of an infection is pus drainage from your gums. This is usually a sign of gum disease or an abscessed tooth.

Severe Toothache

One of the most common signs that you need a dental extraction is if you have a severe toothache. This can be a sign of an abscessed tooth, which is a serious infection. This can cause severe pain and swelling. If you have an infection in your mouth, it can spread to other parts of your body and cause a fever.

Crowding or Crooked Teeth

Crowding or crooked teeth can also be a sign that you need a dental extraction. If your teeth are crowded, it means that there is not enough room in your mouth for all of your teeth. This can cause your teeth to become crooked or misaligned. If you have crowding or crooked teeth, it is important to visit the Boise dentists at Summit Dental Group, so they can determine if you need a dental extraction.

Swollen Wisdom Teeth

If your wisdom teeth are swollen, it can be a sign that you need a dental extraction. Wisdom teeth are the last ones to come in and usually come between the ages of 17 and 21. Sometimes, wisdom teeth can become impacted, which means they are stuck and cannot come in all the way. If your wisdom teeth are impacted, it can cause pain, swelling, and infection. If you have an impacted wisdom tooth, it is important to see a dentist so they can determine if you need a dental extraction.

Significant Tooth Decay

If you have significant tooth decay, it can be a sign that you need a dental extraction. Tooth decay is caused by plaque and tartar build-up on your teeth. If you have tooth decay, it means that your teeth are starting to break down and disintegrate. If you have significant tooth decay, it is important to visit the Boise dentists at Summit Dental Group, so they can determine if you need a dental extraction.

Broken or Chipped Teeth

If you have broken or chipped teeth, it can be a sign that you need a dental extraction. If your tooth is cracked or chipped, it means that there is damage to your tooth. This can cause pain and sensitivity. Again, if you have a broken or chipped tooth, it is important to see a dentist so they can determine if you need a dental extraction.
