Removing a tooth is typically considered when it cannot be saved.
Tooth Extractions
Extractions may be recommended for deep decay, fractures, periodontal damage, or space concerns.
Although preserving the natural tooth is always preferred when possible, extraction may be necessary when the tooth is too severely damaged to restore. This can help eliminate pain, remove infection, or create space for orthodontic treatment.
Extractions may be simple or surgical depending on whether the tooth is fully visible and accessible.
