Indianapolis, IN area dentist offers tooth extraction for severe toothaches

It can happen at any time—a patient in Indianapolis, IN can develop a toothache that can become extremely painful. There are situations in which these individuals may require extraction of a natural tooth to eliminate the problem at hand. While most dentists will attempt a procedure such as root canal therapy to save the tooth whenever possible, it may not always be an option depending on the extent of the damage.

Dr. Matthew Church offers tooth extraction for severe toothaches.

What is a toothache?

A toothache is described as a pain coming specifically from a tooth. It can be a sign of issues including:

  • Large area of tooth decay
  • Infection of the dental pulp
  • Abscesses
  • Injury to the natural tooth
  • Periodontal disease

An evaluation is done to examine the tooth and determine the source of the problem. This might include x-rays to check the health of the tooth and to look for indications of issues underneath the gum line. Once the problem is found, solutions will be recommended if extraction is not the only option. This may include fillings or procedures such as root canal therapy. If extraction is necessary, the procedure can be done the same day or may be scheduled for a later date. Simple extractions are done by wedging out the tooth from the bone, while surgical extractions are more invasive and require the dentist to access underneath the gums to remove the tooth.
