Not at any way. Tooth extraction may be an easier and
cheaper choice rather than root canal treatment. This seemingly simple and
inexpensive choice, however, may prove to be a very poor choice and also
expensive in the long run for the following reasons:
1, If a tooth is removed, its neighboring teeth will tend
to shift towards the vacant space, sometimes significantly.
2, A change such
as this can lead to problems with chewing, aesthetic concerns or jaw joint
function.
3, Alignment changes can also create food traps or make
it so your teeth are more difficult to clean. If so, you will be placed at
greater risk for developing problems with tooth decay and gum disease.
4, An extracted tooth must be replaced with an implant or
bridge to restore chewing function and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting.
These procedures tend to cost more than endodontic treatment and crown.
Ideally
natural teeth should be keep as long as possible. Not only is it more
comfortable, but teeth help stimulate the jawbone and keep it from
deteriorating.
Root canals give the dentist a chance to save the natural tooth and better preserve the structure of a patient’s natural smile.
