There are many reasons why a tooth might need to be taken out. The most common reason is that it's too damaged to be fixed, often due to decay. Sometimes, wisdom teeth cause problems and need to be removed too. Occasionally, a tooth may need to be extracted to make room for other teeth to grow properly. While we try to keep your teeth healthy and intact, sometimes extraction is the best option.
Here are the most common reasons for tooth extraction:
- Crowding: sometimes we need to remove a tooth to make space for other teeth to fit properly.
- Infection risk: gum disease can lead to infection, which may require extraction.
- Severe decay: if the decay has caused too much damage, extraction may be necessary.
- Cracked roots: if the tooth is damaged beyond repair, extraction may be the only option.
We'll always do our best to make sure you're comfortable and informed throughout the process.
Smiling through tooth extraction: Your guide
Getting a tooth taken out can be a bit scary, but it's a common procedure that dentists and oral surgeons do all the time. They'll give you something to make the area numb, so you won't feel any pain. If the tooth is stuck, they might need to break it into smaller pieces to get it out gently. Then they'll stitch up the spot where the tooth was taken out. Don't worry, your dentist at Fang's Dental Clinic will take good care of you!
