Purpose Of A Dental Extraction
Tooth extraction is sometimes necessary to protect your oral health and prevent further complications. Whether due to severe decay, infection, overcrowding, or gum disease, removing a problematic tooth can relieve pain, improve function, and support long term dental wellness. Below are common reasons why a dental extraction may be required:
- Decay or Damage: Removing teeth severely damaged by decay or trauma that cannot be saved.
- Orthodontic Treatment: Extracting teeth to prepare the mouth for orthodontic treatment.
- Impacted Teeth: Removing impacted wisdom teeth to prevent pain, crowding, and infections.
- Risk of Infection: Extracting teeth that might cause an infection, especially for those with compromised immune systems.
- Periodontal Disease: Removing teeth loosened by gum disease.
