Episode Synopsis

Have you come across anyone who got their teeth extracted even if their teeth are healthy? Why would a dentist do that? Well, yes! At times your dentist decides to get your tooth extracted even if there isn’t any decay present. But Why so? Your dentist plans on removing the tooth that has poor gum support and compromised gum health. When gums are not healthy and cannot hold the tooth in place and starts becoming loose. That’s when it reaches the stage where it needs an extraction.
Highlights

Compromised gum health can make your tooth loose. Loose teeth eventually have to go for removal.
Poor gum health can make your gums swollen, puffy, and inflamed. As the disease progresses gums start forming pockets and recede down.
Gum contouring surgery removes the damaged gum tissues and keeps them healthy.
Healthy gums help you avoid landing in a situation where you would need to remove your tooth.
