Can I have a tooth pulled when I have a toothache?

Toothache occurs in many cases and there are many reasons for it. This pain is unbearable, especially in some persistent cases, even painkillers may not be able to stop it. The torture of toothache makes many people decide to have a tooth extracted. The key is that they are not sure whether it is suitable to have a tooth extracted during the attack. So, can you extract a tooth when you have a toothache? Let’s take a closer look below.

Many factors can cause toothache, seriously affecting rest and normal life, but not all cases require tooth extraction. For toothache caused by ordinary tooth decay, as long as the carious part of the tooth is cleaned, anti-inflammatory treatment is performed, and the cavity is filled with dental filling materials, the tooth can be saved. As long as the tooth decay is not particularly serious, hasty tooth extraction should be avoided.

The reason why it is not recommended to extract teeth as soon as you have toothache is because real teeth are very precious, and while deciduous teeth can grow out after they fall out, permanent teeth will not grow again after they are extracted. Don't rush to extract a tooth. You need to first check what causes your toothache and how severe it is before deciding whether to extract the tooth. After all, no matter how good your dentures are, they are not as good as real teeth.

When a tooth must be extracted, choosing when to do it is also a problem. If the toothache is severe, it means there is obvious inflammation, then the tooth cannot be extracted. In other words, if there is obvious inflammation around the root of the tooth that needs to be extracted, such as abscess formation, the inflammation must be eliminated before extraction.

The reason why you can't have a tooth extracted when it hurts a lot is that if the inflammation is not controlled and the trauma is increased, it will cause the disease to spread, which is more harmful to us. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the tooth after the inflammation is eliminated to prevent the spread of inflammation. It is not appropriate to pull it out hastily.

Some friends have severe toothache and want to get rid of this situation immediately, so they have to have the tooth extracted. In fact, this may be caused by pulpitis. As long as the pulp is opened and drained and root canal treatment is performed, the affected tooth can still be saved and the chewing function can be restored. It would be a pity to extract it without examination.

Of course, if the pulpitis is very severe and the tooth is severely damaged and has no value in being retained, the tooth can also be extracted. In this case, it is usually removed when there is no other remedy.

Oral problems often occur, and we often see people covering their cheeks and crying in pain. In fact, there are many reasons for this situation. If the tooth cannot be saved, it will have to be extracted. In addition, some similar problems do not fall into the category of oral diseases and need attention.
