Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket. Permanent teeth may need to be extracted for a variety of reasons. We’ll go over two of those reasons.
When decay reaches the pulp of the tooth, it may be necessary to extract that tooth. The reason for this is because the bacteria in the decay can lead to a serious infection that can spread. Extracting the decayed tooth helps prevent the spread of infection.
Overcrowding of teeth is a frequent reason tooth extraction is needed. Removal of wisdom teeth is necessary in some individuals to prevent teeth from shifting out of place. When it comes to orthodontics, tooth extractions are often needed when there is no space for teeth to move properly into alignment.
