There are several reasons that one or more teeth may need to be extracted. Common reasons include wisdom teeth that are at risk of infection, dental trauma, or tooth decay that cannot be reversed and extraction becomes the only option. If a tooth is broken or has been damaged, Dr. Kathleen Falsey, DDS will try to fix it with a filling, a dental crown, or perhaps dental bonding, first. Extraction is usually a last resort, but when it’s necessary, here’s what you can expect.
Permanent teeth were meant to last a lifetime, but unfortunately, accidents happen and wisdom teeth erupt. If wisdom teeth aren’t extracted, they put a patient at risk for infection because they may not grow in properly. Sometimes teeth will be extracted for orthodontic procedures because a crowded mouth may not allow teeth to move in their proper direction. If Dr. Falsey decides that extraction is the right procedure for you, she will discuss the procedure in full detail to guarantee that you are as comfortable as possible.
