When Is Tooth Removal Necessary?

Tooth removal is always considered a last resort, but in certain cases, it’s the best option to protect your overall oral health. You may need a tooth extraction if you have:

  • Severe tooth decay or infection that can’t be treated with a filling or root canal
  • Advanced gum disease causing loose teeth
  • A broken tooth that cannot be restored
  • Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
  • Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or infection

We’ll always explore all possible treatment options before recommending tooth removal, ensuring you feel informed and supported in your decision.
