Would a dentist pull healthy tooth?

No, a dentist would not intentionally pull (extract) a healthy tooth. Dentists only extract teeth when it is necessary, such as when the tooth is severely damaged or decayed beyond repair, impacted, or causing significant pain that cannot be alleviated through alternative treatments. The decision to extract a tooth is made as a last resort based on careful evaluation, X-rays, and a thorough examination of the patient's oral health.

Dentists are committed to preserving natural teeth whenever possible. They prefer alternative methods like fillings, root canal therapy, orthodontics, or cosmetic treatments to restore dental health. Pulling a healthy tooth would be unethical and counterproductive, as it can lead to several complications and negatively impact the stability and function of the other teeth. Therefore, if a dentist suggests tooth extraction, it is because it is deemed necessary for the overall well-being and oral health of the patient.
