Tooth Extractions

Dentistry is all about saving the patient’s teeth. When a patient presents with tooth damage, the first thing a dentist will attempt to do is restore the structure and health to the tooth or teeth through treatments such as filling, inlays, or crowns. However, in extreme cases of decay and infections etc, where damage is beyond repair; the only treatment option left is removal of unhealthy tooth. Other reasons for extractions are malposition; best example for tooth malposition is wisdom tooth. Often when wisdom teeth come in, they lie in a position that causes constant irritation. Certain orthodontic treatments, in cases of severe crowding or protrusion, strategical removal of one or more teeth is required by an orthodontist to create a nice and beautiful smile.
