When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

There are actually quite a few specific situations that warrant the safe removal of a tooth, including:

  • Teeth are impacted and trapped beneath the gumline, unable to erupt properly (this is often the case with the wisdom teeth, or third molars)
  • A tooth is too damaged or decayed to undergo restorative treatment
  • Advanced gum disease has destroyed the supportive tissue around the tooth
  • Teeth need to be removed to create adequate space for orthodontic treatment
