Understanding Tooth Extractions
A tooth extraction involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. There are several reasons why an extraction might be necessary, including:
- Severe Decay: When a tooth is too damaged by decay to be repaired.
- Infection: To prevent the spread of a serious infection that cannot be treated with antibiotics or root canal therapy.
- Crowding: To make room for orthodontic treatment or alleviate overcrowding in the mouth.
- Impaction: Removing impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth, that are stuck in the gums or jawbone.
Benefits of Tooth Extractions
- Pain Relief: Eliminates the source of severe pain and discomfort.
- Preventive Care: Stops the spread of infection to other teeth and tissues.
- Improved Oral Health: Helps maintain the health of surrounding teeth and gums.
- Preparation for Further Treatment: Facilitates orthodontic treatment or the placement of dentures and implants.
