Reasons Why Teeth Extraction Is Necessary
Posted on 2/15/2024 by Weo Admin
Tooth extraction is a very prevalent dental procedure involving the removal of a tooth from its socket and is typically conducted by our oral surgeons. There are many reasons why we can recommend tooth extraction. If your teeth are severely fractured, decayed, or impacted, it becomes impossible to preserve such a tooth and might need extraction. In this article, we will discuss the common reasons why teeth extraction is crucial:
Dental Impaction
Tooth impaction happens when one tooth grows and starts pressing against another. This can lead to issues like infection and make your gums red, inflamed, and tender. If you are dealing with this, you will note pain and inflammation in your jaw, and you might find it hard to open your mouth comfortably. In such a scenario, teeth extraction becomes inevitable.
Tooth Decay
When material like tartar and plaque builds up on your teeth, it can lead to tooth decay. This buildup attacks the enamel, which is like the protective layer of your teeth, making them not so strong. If things get really bad, it can cause an infection, bringing along serious pain, inflammation, and redness. The tooth might need to be removed at that stage, and a dental bridge or implant might be put in to prevent more problems.
Advanced Periodontal Gum Disease
Periodontal gum disease is an advanced attack on your gums and teeth caused by a prolonged period of tartar and plaque buildup in your teeth. The buildup in your mouth produces harmful toxins that, over time, attack the healthy tissues of your teeth. You can note tooth decay or advanced dental cavities when your teeth are attacked. Keeping such teeth poses oral problems to the health of gum tissues and healthy teeth. We recommend tooth extraction in such a condition.
Overcrowding
Overcrowding is when a small dental arch cannot fit all teeth. This condition predisposes you to issues such as tooth cavities and decay. We recommend extraction of the teeth causing crowding to ensure your teeth are healthy and aligned. You can contact us for guidance on when tooth extraction is necessary.
