When are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

You should know that Dr. Herrera will only recommend tooth extraction if it’s absolutely necessary – your teeth are an important part of your body, and they should only be removed when and if they threaten your dental wellness.

A few scenarios that warrant tooth extraction include:

  • The tooth is so damaged or decayed that a filling, crown, or different type of restoration can’t get the job done.
  • The patient is suffering from gum disease that’s compromised the tissue supporting a tooth, causing it to loosen.
  • A tooth is impacted, which means it’s not properly erupting (this often happens to wisdom teeth).
  • Certain teeth need to be removed to make room for future orthodontic treatment.
