Why Tooth Extraction is Needed Sometimes?

Severe Tooth Decay or Infection
When decay reaches deep into the tooth and damages the pulp beyond repair, even a root canal may not save it. In such cases, extraction helps prevent the infection from spreading to nearby teeth or gums.

Gum Disease (Periodontitis)
Advanced gum disease can weaken the tissues and bone that support your teeth. If the tooth becomes too loose, removal may be the only option.

Crowded Mouth or Orthodontic Reasons
Sometimes teeth need to be removed to make space for proper alignment — especially before braces or other orthodontic treatments.

Impacted Teeth
Teeth that fail to fully emerge (like some wisdom teeth) can cause pain, infection, or crowding. Removing them prevents future complications.

Fractured or Broken Teeth
If a tooth is broken near the gum line and cannot be restored with a crown or filling, extraction becomes necessary.

Preparation for Dentures or Implants
Damaged or misaligned teeth are sometimes removed to make room for dentures, bridges, or dental implants.
