What is Tooth Extractions?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a damaged, decayed, or problematic tooth to prevent further oral health issues. While we always aim to save natural teeth, there are times when removal is the best option to maintain a healthy and well-aligned smile.
- Severe Tooth Decay : When cavities are too large for fillings or crowns.
- Infections & Abscesses If the infection has spread and the tooth can’t be saved.
- Overcrowding Issues : Removing teeth to create space for orthodontic treatment.
