Extractions

Gentle Tooth Extractions for Long-Term Oral Health

Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to be restored. Removing a problematic tooth helps prevent the spread of infection, relieve discomfort, and protect the health of surrounding teeth and gums. While preserving natural teeth is always the priority, extractions can be an important step in maintaining overall oral health when other treatment options are no longer effective.

At Harris Family Dentistry, tooth extractions are performed with a focus on comfort, safety, and careful planning. If you’ve been told you may need a tooth extraction or are experiencing ongoing dental pain, call Harris Family Dentistry today at (620) 276-7623 to speak with our team and schedule your appointment.
