When do I need a tooth extraction?

Question

Accepted Answer

Common Reasons One Might Need an Extraction

An extraction is a process of removing a tooth, down to the root. Your i-Implant Dentistry dentist will always do what they can to save your tooth, but there are times when a tooth extraction is necessary for your oral health. Some of the main reasons an extraction might be recommended include:


	Severe tooth decay that cannot be fixed with a filling, crown, or root canal
	A broken tooth near the gum line
	A loose tooth which cannot be saved
	A baby tooth that never came out and may be blocking adult teeth from coming in
	To prepare for orthodontic treatment
	Impacted wisdom teeth
