We’ve all had a toothache at some point or another. While you should always consult your Denver dentist, it’s not always a serious problem. Often, the issue can be fixed with a filling or a root canal. However, many Denver residents have found themselves in a situation where the tooth is not salvageable, and the only solution is for Dr. Paini to perform an extraction, or remove the tooth. Today, Dr. Paini at Advanced Aesthetic Dentistry would like to talk about what you can expect from an extraction and why it’s not something to fear!
