🦷 SAVE IT OR EXTRACT IT? 🤔
Does a badly decayed tooth always need to be removed? Not necessarily!
In many cases, even a severely decayed tooth can be saved with appropriate treatment, including Root Canal Treatment, if enough healthy tooth structure remains.
🦷 Why try to save your natural tooth?
✨ Preserve your natural tooth whenever possible.
✨ Maintain chewing function.
✨ Avoid tooth replacement when it can be prevented.
Remember, extraction may be necessary when a tooth cannot be predictably restored. If a tooth is removed, replacement options such as implants, bridges or dentures may need to be considered.
Your natural tooth is precious. Give it a chance to be saved! ❤️
