Root Canal or Tooth Extraction: Which Is Better?
When a tooth is badly damaged or infected, patients often ask: “Should I get a root canal or have the tooth removed?”
If the tooth can be predictably restored, root canal treatment is often preferred because it preserves your natural tooth. Extraction may be recommended when the tooth is severely fractured, extensively damaged, or cannot be restored adequately.
A root canal removes infected or inflamed pulp, cleans and seals the inside of the tooth, and allows the natural tooth to remain in place. An extracted tooth, however, may eventually need replacement with a dental implant, bridge, or denture to restore function.
The decision depends on the tooth's condition, remaining structure, infection, bone support, and long-term restorability—not simply on pain.
At OralNest Dental Clinic, Wakad, Dr. Ashutosh Dighe (BDS, MDS) provides comprehensive diagnosis and personalised treatment planning to help patients understand their options.
