When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
While our top priority is always to save your natural teeth when possible, there are situations where extraction is the best or only option. Common reasons patients need tooth extractions include:
- Severe tooth decay that has destroyed too much of the tooth to be restored
- Broken or fractured teeth that cannot be repaired
- Advanced gum disease causing teeth to become loose
- Infected teeth that don’t respond to root canal therapy
- Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or crowding
- Overcrowded teeth before orthodontic treatment
Sometimes, extractions are needed quickly due to emergencies—pain, infection, trauma, or swelling that cannot wait. In these cases, prompt treatment is critical for your comfort and overall health.
