Absolutely no one likes to have his or her teeth pulled; that’s why pulling teeth is a metaphor for doing something that is painful and difficult. However, it can become necessary to pull teeth in different instances. There are times in which teeth can become impacted in the gums as a result of trauma. That happens when something hits you in the mouth and forces the teeth upwards into the gums. This can cause serious amounts of pain and require the teeth to be pulled. More commonly, tooth extractions in Hoffman Estates become necessary when a tooth is irrevocably decayed. Teeth become decayed when they are infected or rotted due to disease and/or poor dental hygiene.
Other Teeth Falling Out
If you have other teeth falling out, that’s usually a good sign that you will need extractions in Hoffman Estates. Your teeth are anchored to your gums in two ways. They are anchored to the gums by the gums themselves that hold onto the teeth; also, they are anchored by the root that sits in the root canal. If the tooth is rotten, it will begin to decay the root and that method of anchoring will be less effective. If the gums become diseased, they will no longer hold onto the tooth as effectively. If both occur, you’ll probably need to have the tooth pulled.
