Some things are worth holding on to—like heirlooms, vacation days, or good advice. But when it comes to damaged or problematic teeth, hanging on too long can do more harm than good. If you’ve been putting off a necessary extraction, March is a smart time to act. After all, better out than in (when it comes to teeth).
Why Timely Extractions Matter
Infected, broken, or impacted teeth don’t get better with time. Delaying removal can lead to increased pain, damage to neighboring teeth, or more complex oral health issues. Whether it’s a wisdom tooth that never came in properly or a molar beyond saving, removing the problem tooth clears the way for healing.
Quick Recovery, Big Relief
Modern extractions are faster and more comfortable than ever. With local anesthesia and sedation options, many patients experience minimal discomfort and quick recovery times. Removing a compromised tooth often brings immediate relief—especially if it’s been causing swelling, jaw pain, or difficulty chewing.
Spring Forward Without the Setback
With warmer weather and busy schedules just around the corner, now’s a great time to handle any lingering dental issues. Taking care of an extraction in early spring means you’ll have time to recover and move into the season feeling better, not worse.
