SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - Missouriar -- Galleria Dental of Springfield is raising awareness about the importance of timely dental care, emphasizing how tooth extractions in Springfield can play a crucial role in protecting patients from more serious oral health complications.

While many patients may feel uneasy about losing a tooth, dentists at Galleria Dental explain that early intervention—especially when a tooth is infected, decayed, or impacted—can actually preserve the long-term health of your mouth. Delaying necessary extractions can lead to pain, abscesses, bone loss, or the spread of infection to surrounding teeth.

"We always aim to save natural teeth whenever possible," says Dr. Tolliver, lead provider at Galleria Dental of Springfield. "But in certain cases, removing a tooth is the safest and most proactive option. That's where timely tooth extractions in Springfield make all the difference."
