When do dentists absolutely have to pull out a tooth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unrestorability: Dentists don't like to extract teeth, at least i don't. I'd love to save an many as i can. Truth is, some teeth are so broken down that trying to restore them is futile.. The effort and expense is not worth it. They won't last but a year, and that is not what you want. Today, implants are a viable alternative.
