When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

Removing a tooth is never the first option. Only when other methods of treatment are unsuccessful will we recommend a tooth extraction. These situations may include:

  • Extreme facial trauma that results in a broken or damaged tooth that cannot be saved or treated with a dental crown or root canal
  • Severe dental decay that is posing a threat to nearby teeth
  • Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) that is causing teeth to become loose because of progressive bone loss
  • Your child’s baby tooth is unwilling to fall out on its own and the permanent one is attempting to erupt
  • You need additional space to allow for proper tooth movement when addressing overcrowding
