When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?

Tooth extraction may be recommended for a variety of reasons, including:

• Severe Tooth Decay or Damage: When a tooth is extensively decayed or damaged beyond repair, removing it may be the best option to prevent the spread of infection and protect the surrounding teeth.
• Periodontal (Gum) Disease: Advanced periodontal disease can weaken the supporting bone and tissues around a tooth, leading to mobility or tooth loss. Extraction may be necessary to preserve the health of the surrounding gums and bone.
• Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that are unable to emerge properly or are causing pain and overcrowding often need to be extracted to prevent alignment issues or damage to neighboring teeth.
• Overcrowding: In preparation for orthodontic treatment, one or more teeth may need to be extracted to create space and allow for proper alignment.
• Tooth Fractures or Trauma: If a tooth is fractured or damaged in a way that cannot be restored, extraction may be required to prevent further complications.
