What Is A Dental Extraction?​
A dental extraction is a surgical procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is typically performed when a tooth is unable to be saved or when its removal is necessary for optimal oral health.
​
Reasons For A Dental Extraction​
-
Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be restored with a filling or crown.
-
Infection: Persistent infection in the tooth or surrounding tissues that does not respond to endodontic treatment (Root Canal Therapy).
-
Gum Disease: Advanced periodontal disease that has led to significant bone loss around the tooth.
-
Impacted Teeth: Teeth, especially wisdom teeth, that are trapped beneath the gumline and cannot emerge properly.
-
Orthodontic Treatment: Removal of teeth to create space for proper alignment and bite correction.
-
Trauma: Teeth that are fractured or damaged beyond repair due to injury.
