Several reasons might necessitate a tooth extraction, such as:
Severe tooth decay or damage: If a tooth is severely decayed or fractured beyond repair, extraction may be necessary to prevent infection and further complications.
Impacted wisdom teeth: Wisdom teeth that are impacted, or unable to erupt properly, can cause pain, crowding, and other issues. Extraction is often recommended in these cases.
Advanced gum disease: In severe cases of gum disease, where the bone supporting the tooth is significantly compromised, extraction may be necessary.
What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction:
We will thoroughly explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have beforehand. Anesthetic options are available to ensure your comfort during the extraction. Following the extraction, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimize discomfort.
