One of the main goals of modern dentistry is the prevention of tooth loss. All possible measures should be taken to preserve and maintain your teeth because the loss of a single tooth can have a major impact upon your dental health and appearance. However, it is still sometimes necessary to remove a tooth. Here are some of the reasons a tooth may need to be extracted.
| ● | Severe Decay |
| ● | Advanced periodontal disease |
| ● | Infection or abscess |
| ● | Orthodontic correction |
| ● | Malpositioned teeth |
| ● | Fractured teeth or roots |
| ● | Impacted teeth |
Keep in mind, once a tooth has been removed, it typically requires replacement.
