\n Many patients assume extraction is quicker, cheaper, or easier.\n The reality is that losing a tooth often creates additional\n problems that require further treatment. Whenever possible,\n preserving a healthy natural tooth remains the gold standard in\n modern dentistry.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n A root canal preserves your natural tooth, maintains jawbone\n health, and helps you avoid the long-term consequences of tooth\n loss. In most cases, it is the preferred option. Tooth extraction<\/a>\n should generally be considered only when the tooth is too damaged\n or compromised to be predictably restored.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n

\n At FMS Dental<\/strong>, each tooth is carefully\n evaluated based on its restorability, bone support, and\n long-term prognosis before treatment recommendations are\n made. Whenever predictable long-term success can be achieved,\n preserving the natural tooth remains the preferred approach.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
