Dentists may remove teeth for a variety of reasons, but the most common reason is due to a tooth being severely decayed. When trauma or decay damages a tooth or surrounding teeth, our doctors at Vista Dental will do everything they can to fix the tooth with a filling or a crown. When a tooth is damaged beyond repair, tooth extraction is necessary.
Other reasons for tooth extraction include:
- Some people have extra teeth that block other teeth from coming in.
- Sometimes baby teeth don’t fall out in time to allow permanent teeth to come in.
- 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.
