A wellness dentist explains why extracting a tooth is never routine. A tooth is a full organ with nerves, blood and lymphatic supply, and critical functions like chewing and speaking. Removal requires serious consideration, not a quick decision.
needed my root canal taken out. I'm understanding that wellness dentistry does things differently. What is the process like for getting a tooth removed at a wellness practice?
For us, whenever the patient had to face a decision that they kind of had to remove a tooth, for us, that is a body part. That's an organ. The tooth is truly an organ. It have nerve function, it have lymphatic, it have blood flow through it, and it have function of you helping you talking, chewing, swallowing, right? Eating. It's not the light decision, first of all, to just decide to take the tooth out.
