Adult teeth are supposed to last your whole life, it doesn’t always work out that you get to keep them. Over time, teeth can become decayed or damaged due to poor oral hygiene, disease and injury. In many cases, teeth and gums can be repaired with fillings, crowns and antibiotics. However, sometimes these interventions aren’t enough, and a tooth must be extracted.

A broken or damaged tooth can be treated with a filling, crown or other dental treatments. There are several reasons that may call for a removal, though. Some of the situations are:
- Extreme tooth damage from trauma or decay
- Crowding or extra teeth that prevent the growth of other teeth
- Periodontal or gum disease that loosens teeth
- Infections that threaten the health of the jawbone
- Preparation for full or partial dentures
- When baby teeth don’t fall, forceful extraction is necessary
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom tooth extractions are among the most commonly performed tooth extractions. It is not necessary to remove your wisdom tooth if it does not pose any complications. However, if it causes severe pain and swelling, or has a high risk of doing so in the future, it is best removed.
