Tooth extractions are often necessary to preserve oral health and prevent future complications. Here are some common reasons why patients may need a tooth removed:
Severe Tooth Decay or Infection
If a tooth is severely decayed or infected beyond what a root canal or dental filling can repair, removing the tooth may be the best option to prevent infection from spreading.
Impacted or Problematic Wisdom Teeth
Many patients experience painful wisdom teeth that can become impacted, misaligned, or cause overcrowding. In these cases, wisdom tooth removal is often recommended.
Advanced Gum Disease (Periodontal Disease)
When gum disease progresses, it can cause severe damage to the supporting structures of your teeth. If a tooth becomes loose or infected due to periodontal disease, extraction may be the best course of action.
Overcrowding or Orthodontic Treatment
Some patients require extractions as part of their orthodontic treatment plan to create space for teeth to align properly. This is especially common before braces or Invisalign®.
Damaged or Broken Teeth
If a tooth is fractured below the gum line or beyond repair due to trauma or injury, extraction may be necessary before considering a dental implant, bridge, or denture.
