the tooth can be predictably saved, restored and kept functional. Extraction may be better when the tooth is cracked below the gumline, severely damaged, has poor bone support, cannot be restored or has a poor long-term prognosis. The decision depends on X-rays, symptoms, infection, remaining tooth structure, gum support, bite forces, cost and replacement options if the tooth is removed.<\/p>\n      <\/section>\n\n      <section>\n        <h2>Why saving a tooth is often considered first<\/h2>\n        <p>Natural teeth are valuable because they preserve chewing function, jawbone stimulation, bite stability and the natural shape of the dental arch.<\/p>\n        <p>However, saving a tooth is only meaningful when the tooth can be cleaned, sealed and restored in a way that is likely to last. A tooth that cannot be rebuilt predictably may not be a good root canal candidate.<\/p>\n      <\/section>\n      <section>\n        <h2>Root canal vs extraction<\/h2>\n        <table>\n          <caption>This table compares common decision factors.<\/caption>\n          <thead>\n            <tr>\n              <th scope=\"col\">Factor<\/th>\n              <th scope=\"col\">Root canal may be better when<\/th>\n              <th scope=\"col\">Extraction may be better when<\/th>\n            <\/tr>\n          <\/thead>\n          <tbody>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Tooth structure<\/td>\n              <td>Enough healthy tooth remains for a filling or crown.<\/td>\n              <td>The tooth is too broken to restore.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Crack position<\/td>\n              <td>The crack does not extend deeply into the root.<\/td>\n              <td>A vertical root fracture or deep crown-root fracture is present.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Infection<\/td>\n              <td>The infection can be treated through root canal therapy.<\/td>\n              <td>The infection is combined with a hopeless tooth prognosis.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Gum support<\/td>\n              <td>Bone and periodontal support are stable.<\/td>\n              <td>Advanced gum disease or mobility makes the tooth unstable.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Future plan<\/td>\n              <td>The tooth can be protected and maintained.<\/td>\n              <td>Replacement with implant, bridge or other option is more predictable.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n          <\/tbody>\n        <\/table>\n      <\/section>\n      <section>\n        <h2>What affects the decision?<\/h2>\n        <ul>\n          <li>Depth and cause of infection.<\/li>\n          <li>How much tooth structure remains.<\/li>\n          <li>Whether the tooth is cracked.<\/li>\n          <li>Whether a crown will be needed after root canal treatment.<\/li>\n          <li>Gum and bone support around the tooth.<\/li>\n          <li>Position of the tooth and chewing forces.<\/li>\n          <li>Cost, time and long-term maintenance.<\/li>\n          <li>Options for replacing the tooth if extracted.<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n      <\/section>\n      <section>\n        <h2>What happens at Gloss &#038; Floss Dental Care\u00ae?<\/h2>\n        <p>At Gloss &#038; Floss Dental Care\u00ae in Stockholm, we assess the tooth clinically and with X-rays before recommending root canal treatment or extraction.<\/p>\n        <p>If the tooth can be saved, we explain root canal treatment and restoration.
