There are a number of different reasons a tooth may need to be extracted. Some teeth are removed because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need to be extracted because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment. Sometimes, it is a matter of health in the case of infections, cysts or wisdom teeth. And primary teeth are frequently removed to create the space necessary to allow for other teeth to grow.
It is imperative to understand the removal of teeth can lead to problems related to your chewing ability, problems with your jaw joint, and shifting teeth, which can have a major impact on your dental health. The dentist will discuss with you regarding replacing extracted teeth with implants, bridges and partial dentures.
