While many teens and some adults get their wisdom teeth removed, there are other reasons why tooth extraction may be necessary in adulthood.
Excessive tooth decay, tooth infection, and crowding can all require a tooth extraction. Those who get braces may need one or two teeth removed to provide room for their other teeth as they shift into place.
When the infection in a decayed tooth is too bad, you’ll need to pull it out. This removes the risk of developing more serious mouth diseases and pain in the gums and nerves.
The same applies to teeth that are at risk of tooth infection. If you have gum disease or infected gums, it can also be grounds for dental extraction. It occurs when the infected gums can’t hold the tooth well.
Teeth that are broken or fractured, below the surface, or impacted require a more involved procedure.
If you have overcrowded teeth, your dentist may recommend that you get a tooth extraction. This is to make space for the remaining teeth and to ease the patient’s pain. Finally, you’ll need dental extractions for impacted and wisdom teeth.
If you want to smile as before, you can replace failing teeth with dental implants, digitally planned for accuracy and beautiful esthetics.
