Tooth Extractions

What Are Tooth Extractions?
Why Are Tooth Extractions Needed?
Extractions are often performed when there is no other way to save a tooth. Some teeth are simply an issue to your oral health, so it's best to remove them before they're allowed to cause issues with shifting, infection and intra-oral damage. Some of the reasons you may want or need an extraction include:
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Loose or severely decayed teeth
- Teeth that are cracked or broken below the gum line
- Stubborn baby teeth
- You're looking to avoid having additional treatment done

Who Is a Candidate for Tooth Extractions?
With the help of an examination, we can determine if you might need an extraction. Most patients who need an extraction can and should have the procedure done. Leaving a problem tooth intact can cause issues down the road with infections and abscesses. We will take X-rays to help in further identifying the need for an extraction.

What Happens During a Tooth Extraction?
You should be brought home by a friend or relative if general sedation has been used. We provide our patients with important aftercare instructions that must be followed.
