When Does a Tooth Extraction Make Sense? When Would I Consider Having a Tooth Pulled?

Joseph C Ardizzone DDS PS

Federal Way Dental Center

"Quality Care - Clinical Excellence"

The most common explanation for why a patient elects to have a tooth pulled is to be relieved of severe pain, immediately, and with relatively minimal costs when compared to alternative forms of dental treatment. Usually, alternative methods of treatment for providing pain relief to the patient and restoration of the tooth are available. Often these options may require multiple treatment appointments, time off work and perhaps significantly higher treatment costs. All are factors too be considered and often are the primary reasons the patient elects to have a tooth extracted even though it may be treatable.

Severe pain can be described by patients in a variety of ways -- pain on biting, pain to hot or cold, waking pain during night time sleeping and lingering pain after the onset of a hot or cold stimulus, throbbing pain or pulsing pain shortly after eating; all are descriptions of your dental pain which will assist your dentist in diagnosing the origin and nature of your dental pain.

Jaw pain may even be referred from other areas of your body and can indicate a more serious systemic health condition. The nature of your dental pain provides valuable information leading to the diagnosis and treatment options you have available to you.

It is also helpful for you to document when you are experiencing tooth pain and its location. This type of information will help in providing the best description of the symptoms you are having and over what time frame days, week or months and will expedite you examination appointment and discussion regarding the best course of treatment.

In conclusion, “Severe Dental Pain” has different meanings to each of us and all descriptions are valid. However, your description of the symptoms you are having may aid in an efficient diagnosis, and certainly will provide you and your dentist with the best information for making and informed decision as to the best treatment option for handling your dental emergency before concluding that you tooth should be extracted.

Today tooth extraction makes sense when finances are a major consideration and the various treatment alternatives are simply cost prohibitive. Many times the tooth prognosis is poor and cannot easily be repaired due to extensive decay, extensive loss of bone around the tooth from periodontal disease and excessive mobility.

Finally and perhaps the most significant reasons for tooth extractions is when the oral diagnosis for tooth is considered to be detrimental to the patients Oral/Systemic Health. These conditions would include a dental abscess, infected wisdom teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, infected tooth roots, teeth associated with cysts, tumors or other systemic health conditions which would warrant its removal to avoid further health complications.

Dental Infections are serious and can be life threatening. Patients should be seen as early as possible to avoid more serious complications arising from these types of situations, and early intervention will provide professional management and most likely lead to early pain relief and more favorable treatment result. Ignoring your bodies symptoms most often leads to unfavorable dental and systemic health consequences.

After a professional dental evaluation, oral diagnosis and consulting with you dentist, it may be that extraction of the tooth is a viable alternative the best alternative for you to avoid undesirable consequences.

Dental ceramics, ceramic veneers, ceramic inlays & onlays and full ceramic crowns, ceramic metalceramic bridges and dental implants or implant supported ceramic bridges or denture provide a variety of additional cosmetic solutions. These cosmetic teatment alternatives to extracting the tooth, which generally involve increase investment by the patient, provide the patient with beautiful alternatives to removing many teeth.

The variety of restorative treatments technologies provide the cosmetic dentist and dental cosmetics new technologies with exceptional cosmetic results for retaining teeth that where once almost certainly extracted allowing patients more choices and to the alternative of extracting the tooth.

Dental ceramics provide alternative cosmetic options to Cosmetic Composite fillings. Dental Composite fillings which primarily provide economical treatment alternatives. Often a tooth may be restored these types of restorations should the patient elect to try to keep their tooth.

Although amalgam fillings may be place in variety of applications in dental offices in the united States, even today, they are generally of limited value in today’s cosmetically conscious dental patient. The dental amalgam is historical referred to as the “gray filling” and unfortunately tend to stain and discolor teeth with time due to their corrosion. We do not feel the dental amalgam offers any significant benefit for the patient in terms of longevity, strength, or even cost. The cosmetic value of the dental amalgam poor and not a viable option for cosmetic treatment.

Is Dental Amalgam An Optimal Restorative Material For Dental Restoration? Mercury Free Dental Fillings Are Available. Call 253-839-7270

2009-10-04T04:17:00.000-07:00

Is Dental Amalgam An Optimal Restorative Material For Dental Restoration, Given Its Moderate Health Risks According to the FDA? Should Alternative Restorative Materials Be Considered For Restorative Dental Treatment. Mercury Free Restorations and Cosmetic Composite Fillings and Ceramic Fillings Are Perhaps A Prudent Health Choice..

Health considerations of dental amalgam are being debated among researchers and health organizations, and are being considered much more carefully, due to the nearly 50% mercury levels in this type of restoration. Although recent findings by the FDA were issued as of July 28, 2oo9, its final regulation on Dental Amalgam.

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today issued a final regulation classifying dental amalgam and its component parts – elemental mercury and a powder alloy—used in dental fillings. While elemental mercury has been associated with adverse health effects at high exposures, the levels released by dental amalgam fillings are not high enough to cause harm in patients.

The regulation classifies dental amalgam into Class II (moderate risk). By classifying a device into Class II, the FDA can impose special controls (in addition to general controls such as good manufacturing practices that apply to all medical devices regardless of risk) to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device."

For More Info Click Link

It is the Possition of the FDA, that health associated with mercury levels release by dental amalgam is not high enough to cause harm to patients. However, the FDA raised the classification of Dental Amalgam to a class 2 risk ( II moderate risk).

Its my personal feeling as a father and a dentist, that dental amalgam should not generally be continued to be utilized in routine dental applications. The mercury / silver fillings’ high level mercury and its potential future health considerations makes this choice of restoration a questionable alternative in almost any situation.

Dental Amalgam is of little value for use in the cosmetic enhancement of the patients smile and not recommended. Health risk due to mercury, although not fully known, seems to poss a question worth answering with more scientific research. Mercury is listed on the national list of known toxic substances and the “consumer should be ware”. We do not recommend mercury fillings be placed and have not provide this as an treatment option for many years.
