Dentists recommend tooth extractions when saving a natural tooth is no longer possible or practical. Severe decay that has destroyed too much tooth structure, advanced gum disease loosening teeth, or infections that haven’t responded to root canal treatment often necessitate removal. Extractions may also be needed for overcrowded teeth, particularly before orthodontic treatment, or for impacted wisdom teeth that could damage other teeth or cause pain.
Sometimes teeth are removed due to trauma or injury that has left them beyond repair. In some cases, extracting severely damaged teeth can prevent infection from spreading to other parts of the body.
