Reasons for Tooth Extractions

 

At Southern Cross Dental, our doctors cannot stress enough the importance of taking care of your oral health. If you don’t brush and floss your teeth on a regular basis, you risk developing gum disease that can eventually lead to tooth decay. When teeth have significant decay, sometimes they cannot be treated by a root canal and will need to be extracted. In some cases, a broken tooth may also need to be extracted. Other reasons for tooth extractions 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.

If any of this issues sound all too familiar or if you have a tooth that is causing you pain, please give us a call to discuss your treatment options.
