Tooth Extractions

Good oral hygiene should always be practiced since the loss of a single tooth can have major impact upon your oral health and appearance. Although we will use every measure to prevent tooth loss, sometimes there are still necessary occasions when a tooth may need to be extracted. For example, a tooth may need to be extracted if the following occurs:

  • Severe decay
  • Advanced periodontal disease
  • Infection or abscess
  • Orthodontic correction
  • Malpositioned teeth
  • Fractured teeth or roots
  • Impacted teeth

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often need to be removed or extracted. They start forming as early as age 14 and come into the mouth at about age 18 to 21 years. Oftentimes, wisdom teeth may come in crooked or at an angle and can cause crowding of adjacent teeth. They may also become impacted and remain under the gum and bone.
