When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure aimed at removing teeth that are damaged, decayed, or causing crowding. Our approach combines advanced techniques with a compassionate touch, offering a pain-free experience to our patients.
There are several scenarios where tooth extraction becomes necessary:
- Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is beyond repair.
- Periodontal Disease: Advanced gum disease can lead to tooth loss.
- Dental Trauma: Accidents that severely damage teeth.
- Orthodontic Preparation: Removing teeth to make space for alignment.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that don't emerge properly can cause pain and lead to infection.
