If this treatment also fails, tooth loss is prevented by mechanically removing the tip of the tooth root and the surrounding inflamed tissues with a surgical intervention. If no results are achieved despite this surgical intervention, the most appropriate thing here is to extract the tooth to remove the source of inflammation from the mouth.
