Did you know that when a tooth is extracted, the jawbone beneath it begins to shrink? 🦴 This is called bone resorption and it starts within the first few months after extraction. Over time, it can affect the shape of your face, the fit of surrounding teeth, and the success of any future implant.
When a natural tooth remains in place, even after a root canal, it continues to stimulate the jawbone and keep it healthy. This is one of the most important reasons to save your natural tooth whenever possible.
