Tooth extraction may seem like the ideal solution for a decayed tooth, but it’s not. The removal of the teeth leads to other dental problems that need expensive treatments. Furthermore, extraction leaves gaps in the gums that are detrimental to your dental health. These missing teeth will cause the surrounding teeth to shift and fill these spaces. Plus, it leads to the loss of the alveolar bone, causing jaw degeneration. Having a root canal in NW Calgary will help prevent these problems.
