When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
You may need a tooth extraction if you have:
A deep infection or abscess: When an infection reaches the tooth pulp and cannot be treated with a root canal, extraction is needed to prevent the spread.
Impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth: Teeth that don’t fully emerge and cause pain, infection, or damage may need removal.
Overcrowded or misaligned teeth: Extractions can create space for proper alignment during orthodontic treatment.
Tooth injury due to trauma: If a tooth is severely damaged and cannot be restored, it may need to be removed.
Advanced gum disease: Gum disease that leads to tooth instability may require extraction to protect overall oral health.
What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction
We will review your medical history, examine the tooth and gums, take X-rays for accurate diagnosis, and administer local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Our goal is to fully understand your condition and provide a treatment plan that prioritizes your health and well-being.
