When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?

While saving a natural tooth is always the priority, some situations require an extraction to preserve oral health. Dr. Brian Allen may recommend a tooth extraction if you have:

  • Severe tooth decay that cannot be restored
  • A broken or fractured tooth beyond repair
  • Advanced gum disease affecting the stability of a tooth
  • Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or alignment issues
  • Overcrowding that interferes with orthodontic treatment

Removing a problematic tooth can prevent further damage and improve overall dental function.

 

Benefits of Tooth Extractions

Although tooth extractions may seem intimidating, they can provide several advantages for long-term oral health. Some key benefits include:

  • Pain relief – Eliminates discomfort caused by an infected or damaged tooth
  • Prevention of complications – Stops infection or decay from spreading
  • Improved oral health – Creates space for proper tooth alignment and function
  • Faster recovery – Promotes better healing when an extraction is necessary
  • Custom treatment options – Enables future restorations, such as dental implants or bridges
