Dental Extraction – Wisdom Teeth Removal

At least once in your life, you’ll need to have a tooth removed. One common reason adults undergo tooth extraction is severe damage from decay. Other possible reasons include the following:

• Crowded teeth. Crowded teeth can cause alignment issues and bite problems. To resolve this, tooth extraction may be necessary. Your dentist may also recommend pulling teeth that cannot fully erupt, as the case with wisdom teeth removal.
• Impacted wisdom tooth. Your wisdom tooth may erupt at an angle if there is no enough room to accommodate it. An impacted wisdom tooth can cause irritation and inflammation, affecting adjacent teeth. It can also cause pain and discomfort. Extraction is usually recommended by dentists in rare cases where the impacted wisdom teeth can already cause damage to your jaw bone.
• Infected tooth. When a tooth is damaged beyond repair that other restorative procedures such as root canal therapy will no longer work, extraction may be the best solution. The tooth has to be removed to prevent the infection from spreading and protect your oral health. Please note that dental professionals will only recommend extraction when no other available method can save the damaged tooth.
• Gum disease. Periodontal or gum disease can cause loosening of your tooth. When this happens, the affected tooth may have to be pulled to also prevent affecting surrounding teeth.
