Extractions

Good oral hygiene should always be practiced since the loss of a single tooth can have a major impact upon your oral health and appearance.  Although we encourage tooth loss prevention, there are times when the best treatment involves removing one or more teeth.  For example, a tooth may need to be extracted under the following circumstances:

• Severe decay
• Advanced periodontal disease
• Infection or abscess
• Orthodontic correction
• Malpositioned teeth
• Fractured teeth or roots
• Impacted teeth
