Gentle Care When a Tooth Needs Removal
A tooth extraction involves removing a tooth that is badly damaged, infected or affecting surrounding teeth.
Reasons for an Extraction
- Severe tooth decay.
- Advanced gum disease.
- A badly broken tooth.
- Persistent infection.
- Impacted teeth.
- Overcrowding.
- Preparation for selected orthodontic treatments.
Before the Procedure
The dentist examines the tooth and considers whether another treatment could preserve it. Extraction is recommended only after reviewing the available options.
Aftercare
