When Tooth Extractions Are Necessary
There are several reasons why tooth extractions may be required. Severe decay, advanced gum disease, or impacted wisdom teeth can make removal the healthiest choice. In addition, dentists may recommend extraction when trauma causes irreparable damage. Furthermore, in orthodontic cases, removing a tooth often creates the space needed for proper alignment. For example, extractions sometimes allow braces to shift teeth more effectively.
For further insights, the American Dental Association explains why wisdom teeth and other problem teeth are often removed.
