How To Avoid Teeth Extraction?

Posted on 8/21/2023 by Shiv Sharma, DDS
Teeth extraction is one of the most common procedures in the United States. When you have severe cavities, a fractured tooth, or even crowded teeth, then the dentist may recommend extracting the teeth. It is not always a pleasant experience to have the dentist pull out your tooth. Dental practitioners prefer to save the natural tooth. However, sometimes it is impossible to avoid a tooth extraction. Luckily, there are a few things that you can do to decrease your chances of needing a tooth extraction. These include; Regular Dental Checkups Most people tend to think that because they do not have any problems with their teeth, they do not have to schedule a check-up with their dentist. Regardless of whether you have problems with your teeth, it is important for you to avoid missing your checkups with your dentist. Regular dental checkups will allow your dentist to monitor the progress of your teeth. This means that they can spot dental problems at an early stage. Therefore, the dentist can come up with a treatment plan before the problem progresses and gets worse. For example, the dentist can spot a cavity earlier on and treat it before it becomes worse. This will help you avoid a tooth extraction. Maintaining Proper Dental Hygiene If you want to avoid teeth extractions, then you need to maintain a dental hygiene routine. This will help you maintain strong and healthy teeth. Therefore, brush your teeth at least twice daily and floss daily. You also need to use antibacterial mouthwash to keep bacteria at bay. Use Fluoride Toothpaste One of the major reasons a dentist will recommend an extraction is because of tooth decay. The best way to avoid tooth decay is to use a fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride helps to strengthen the enamel. This helps to prevent tooth decay and cavities. You can also ask your dentist about getting a fluoride treatment once in a while to help strengthen your teeth's enamel. Preventing teeth extractions is not a hard task. All you have to do is to take preventive measures to ensure that your teeth remain strong and healthy. If you can keep up with your dental appointments, and maintain a proper dental hygiene routine, then you can easily prevent teeth extractions....
