One of the most dreaded dental procedures for adults is a tooth extraction. Every person only receives one set of permanent teeth, which means when a permanent tooth is extracted it will not replace itself. Tooth extractions involve the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. If a tooth has become too damaged or too unhealthy that it is more beneficial to live without it than it is to live with it, a tooth extraction is necessary.
The most common reasons for a tooth extraction are:
- Severe tooth decay or infection that makes it impossible or too expensive to repair a tooth
- When a tooth is hindering the health or eruption of another tooth
- During orthodontic treatment, it is not uncommon for some baby teeth to need to be pulled (extracted) in order to create necessary room for the permanent teeth
- Advanced gum disease of requires that a tooth be extracted so that the disease does not affect the supporting tissues and bone structures of other teeth
- Wisdom teeth are the most common teeth to be extracted because they typically are impacted or come in at an angle that is detrimental to your other teeth
