Tooth Extraction

A tooth extraction is performed for a variety of reasons including tooth decay, injury, and for orthodontic treatment. Extractions are a relatively common procedure and are performed in one office visit. The most common reason for removal of a tooth is severe decay or breakage of a tooth.

Teeth may also be removed due to:

• Severe tooth decay or infection
• Extra teeth that are blocking other teeth from growing in
• Severe gum disease
• To make room for orthodontic or cosmetic dentistry treatment
• The tooth can not be restored endodontically
• Fractured tooth
• To make room for a dental crown, bridge, or dental implant

Regardless of the reasons a tooth must be pulled, a tooth extraction is usually reserved only for cases in which no other treatment option will cure the infection or problem.
