Tooth Extractions

An extraction may become necessary for a number of reasons, such as decayed or damaged teeth beyond repair, a failed root canal, impacted wisdom teeth, and advanced gum disease.

We prefer to make every attempt to save a tooth, but sometimes removing the tooth is the best choice.  A tooth removal or extraction is a dental procedure during which your tooth is removed from its socket. Sometimes, people refer to this as “pulling” a tooth.

If a person’s mouth is crowded with teeth and there is not enough space for the teeth, then tooth extraction should be discussed.  Also, when widsom teeth come in it may be necessary to extract the widsom teeth so that they do not push other teeth out of position.
