When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extraction may be recommended for various reasons, including:
-
Severe tooth decay that cannot be treated with a filling or crown.
-
Advanced gum disease that has caused significant damage to the tooth’s supporting structures.
-
Impacted wisdom teeth that can lead to pain, infection, or alignment issues.
-
Overcrowding, which may be necessary for orthodontic treatment.
-
A damaged or broken tooth beyond repair.
