5 Top Reasons for Tooth Extractions | Dr. Lee Sheldon
Not sure if a tooth needs to be pulled? In this video, I break down the top 5 reasons for tooth extractions—including budget, failed treatments, infection, and more.
When should you save a tooth, and when should you extract it?
Too often, people make dental decisions without a full-mouth plan, leading to unnecessary costs and future problems. Let's talk about how to make the best choices for your long-term dental health.
