Reasons for Tooth Extraction
- Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be restored with a filling or crown, extraction may be necessary to prevent infection and further damage.
- Advanced Gum Disease: Gum disease can lead to tooth mobility and loss of supporting bone structure. In such cases, extraction may be needed to maintain overall oral health.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth often lack sufficient space to emerge properly, leading to impaction and potential complications such as infection or misalignment of adjacent teeth.
- Crowded Mouth: In some cases, removing one or more teeth may be necessary to create space for orthodontic treatment or to alleviate overcrowding.
- Fractured or Damaged Teeth: Teeth that are severely fractured or damaged beyond repair may require extraction to alleviate pain and prevent further issues.
- Infection or Abscess: Infections or abscesses that do not respond to other treatments may necessitate extraction to prevent the spread of infection and protect surrounding teeth.
