Tooth Extractions El Cajon

Saying Goodbye to Unhealthy Teeth

For Dr. George at El Cajon Dental Center, extraction is never his initial recommendation. In most cases, restorative treatment is often enough to repair a troubled tooth. However, when a dental crown, tooth-colored filling, or root canal won’t help, the only remaining option is to remove the affected tooth via tooth extraction in El Cajon. Don’t hesitate to call our office and schedule an appointment if you would like us to evaluate a tooth that might need to be removed.

When are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

Saving a natural tooth will always be our goal, but if any of the following situations arise, safe and comfortable tooth extraction will often be the recommendation:

  • A tooth suffers extensive damage that cannot be repaired with a dental crown or root canal
  • Tooth decay is spreading throughout the tooth, and we must keep it from moving on to the remaining healthy teeth
  • Periodontitis (advanced gum disease) is affecting the underlying bone, causing it to weaken and loosen natural teeth
  • A permanent tooth cannot erupt properly because a primary tooth refuses to fall out naturally
