At Downtown Dental LLC, our doctors will do their best to avoid tooth extractions on any patient. Sometimes, however, tooth extraction can’t be avoided and is necessary to prevent infection, damage to surrounding teeth, and discomfort in the mouth. The most common type of tooth extraction is wisdom teeth removal, but other common reasons for tooth extractions include the following.
- Severe tooth damage/trauma – some teeth have such extensive decay and damage (broken or cracked) that repair is not possible.
- Orthodontic treatment – people getting braces may need teeth extracted to create room for teeth that are being moved into place.
- Some teeth may need to be extracted if they have the potential of becoming infected.
- Extra teeth – extra teeth may block other teeth from erupting, therefore, will require extraction.
If you have questions or concerns regarding tooth extractions, please give us a call. To learn about the services we provide at our practice, visit www.downtown-dental.com for more information.
