Teeth Extraction

Teeth extraction, also known as tooth removal or dental extraction, is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. While dentists always aim to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, there are situations where tooth extraction becomes necessary.

Features & Benefits:

Severe Tooth Decay
When a tooth is extensively damaged by decay, and the structure of the tooth is compromised, it may not be salvageable through restorative treatments like fillings or crowns. In such cases, extraction is necessary to prevent the spread of infection to other teeth and surrounding tissues.

Advanced Gum Disease
Periodontal disease (gum disease) can lead to the loosening of teeth due to the destruction of the supporting structures, including the gum and bone. When the disease is advanced, extraction might be required to prevent further gum and bone damage.

Tooth Infection
When a tooth infection (abscess) is severe and cannot be effectively treated with root canal therapy or antibiotics, extraction may be necessary to remove the source of infection.

Crowding
In cases of dental crowding, where there is insufficient space in the mouth to accommodate all the teeth, one or more teeth may need to be extracted to create space for orthodontic treatment (braces) or to maintain proper alignment.

Impacted Teeth
Some teeth may become impacted, meaning they fail to fully emerge from the gum line or grow in at an abnormal angle. Impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth, can cause pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth, necessitating extraction.

Preparation for Orthodontic Treatment
In some orthodontic cases, specific teeth may need to be extracted to facilitate proper tooth movement and achieve the desired alignment.

Fractured or Broken Teeth
Teeth that have suffered extensive fractures or breaks, where the damage is beyond repair, may require extraction.
