Tooth Extractions Allentown
Safeguarding Your Oral Health
Tooth extractions in Allentown may not sound like enjoyable procedures, but they are not meant to be viewed as uncomfortable or detrimental to your smile. The reality is that while Dr. Young and our team never want to remove a natural tooth, it may be necessary depending on the situation. If your oral health is at risk of decline, we’ll make sure the process of removing one or more troublesome teeth is as stress-free and comfortable as possible by referring you to an expert oral surgeon. Call our office today to schedule an appointment.

When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?
Only Dr. Young can determine if you need a tooth extraction. This is generally recommended if:
- Your tooth is badly damaged (i.e., broken off at the gumline) and cannot be treated with a dental crown or root canal treatment.
- Your tooth is severely decayed, and the infection is spreading, putting other areas of your smile at risk.
- You have extensive gum disease that is causing one or more teeth to become loose because of bone loss.
- Your child’s baby tooth will not fall out, but the permanent one is ready to erupt.
- You need orthodontics to address overcrowding, but you lack space inside your mouth for proper teeth movement.
- You require dental prosthetics but have one or more teeth that are at risk of falling out.
