When a tooth is badly infected, the choice is often root canal vs extraction in Rohini. Both remove the infection, but they lead to very different outcomes.
What to know about root canal vs extraction in Rohini
A root canal cleans out the infected pulp and keeps your natural tooth. Extraction removes the tooth, and a replacement may be needed later.
Why saving the tooth is usually preferred
- You keep your natural chewing surface and bone support.
- Neighbouring teeth stay in place.
- It can avoid the cost of an implant or bridge later.
When extraction is the better option
If the tooth is too broken, has a vertical root fracture or has lost too much bone support, it may not be worth saving. Your dentist will examine the tooth and X-ray before advising.
