That depends on why the extraction has been recommended.
A severely infected or damaged tooth usually won’t improve without treatment. Waiting may allow the infection to spread, the tooth to break further, or make future treatment more complicated.
Not every extraction is an emergency, though. We’ll explain how urgent your situation is and whether it’s reasonable to monitor the tooth for a period of time.
Our goal is to help you understand the risks and make the decision that’s right for your health.
