Why Tooth Extractions Are Needed

Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to protect your overall oral health and prevent more serious issues from developing. Common reasons include severe decay or infection, advanced gum disease, fractured or impacted teeth, overcrowding ahead of orthodontic treatment, and problematic wisdom teeth. While preserving natural teeth is always the goal, a timely extraction can relieve pain, stop the spread of infection, and create a healthier foundation for future treatments like implants, braces, or dentures.
