Reasons for Tooth Extraction

Here's a list of some reasons why it may be necessary to remove a tooth: 

• Severe Decay – Decay has done so much damage that there’s not enough healthy tooth left to save it with other treatments.
• Infected Root Canal – Infection has reached deep inside your tooth and cannot be treated with a root canal.
• Dental Trauma – The tooth is broken or deeply cracked and cannot be fixed any other way.
• Preparation for Dentures – We may need to remove one or more teeth to get ready for full or partial dentures.
• Crowded Wisdom Teeth – Wisdom teeth are crowding other teeth and need to be removed to ensure proper alignment.
• Orthodontic Treatment – If your child needs braces, we may need remove some baby teeth to make sure that permanent teeth grow in properly.
