When a bad weed sprouts in a garden, it’s always better to pull it rather than letting it multiply and suffocate the rest of your beautiful, healthy garden. The same thought process can be applied to your smile. When a tooth’s health begins to decline or suffers severe trauma, sometimes the best move for your whole smile’s health is to pull the individual tooth. Your Boonville only recommends a tooth extraction when absolutely necessary. Even when one is highly recommended from your dental office, we have the resources and expertise you need to even have a positive experience during your tooth extraction.
