If a tooth has been broken or damaged by decay, Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS will try her best to fix it with a filling, crown or other dental treatment. However, when there’s too much damage for a tooth to be repaired, the tooth may need to be extracted from its socket in the bone. You’re probably most familiar with wisdom teeth extractions, but other reasons for the procedure may include:
- Severe tooth damage/trauma – some teeth have such extensive decay and damage (broken or cracked) that repair is not possible.
- Orthodontic treatment – people getting braces may need teeth extracted to create room for teeth that are being moved into place.
- Some teeth may need to be extracted if they have the potential of becoming infected.
- Extra teeth – extra teeth may block other teeth from erupting, therefore, will require extraction.
If you suspect that you may need a tooth extracted or if you have a tooth that is causing you pain, schedule a consultation with us.
