Dental Surgery

The most common reason for extraction is tooth damage due to breakage or decay.
There are additional reasons for tooth extraction:

• Severe gum disease which may affect the supporting tissues and bone structures of teeth.

• Extra teeth which are blocking other teeth from coming in.

• In preparation for orthodontic treatment (braces)

• Insufficient space for wisdom teeth (impacted third molars)

• Severe tooth decay or infection. Despite the reduction in world-wide prevalence of dental caries, it still is the most common reason for extraction of (non-third molar) teeth with up to two thirds of extractions.

• Teeth in the fracture line

• Fractured teeth.
