At Dental Group Palomar, we understand that the decision to remove a tooth is not taken lightly. Dental extractions are sometimes necessary to protect your overall oral health when a tooth is too damaged or poses a risk to adjacent teeth and tissues. Our experienced team ensures that every extraction is performed with the utmost care and precision, prioritizing your comfort and long-term well-being.
When Are Dental Extractions Necessary?
There are several scenarios where a dental extraction may be the best option for preserving your oral health:
- Severe Decay: When decay has advanced to a point where the tooth cannot be restored, extraction may be necessary to prevent further infection and damage to surrounding teeth and tissues.
- Infection: Severe infections can destroy a significant portion of the tooth or the surrounding bone, making extraction the safest course of action to protect your oral health.
- Crowding: In cases where there isn’t enough space in the mouth for all of your teeth, extractions may be needed to create room and facilitate proper alignment, especially before orthodontic treatment.
- Partially Retained Teeth: Teeth that are partially retained, such as some wisdom teeth, can be difficult to clean and may lead to infection or decay, necessitating removal.
- Impacted Teeth: Impacted teeth are those that have not fully emerged from the bone, often causing pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth. Extraction is often the recommended solution.
