Teeth Extraction in Exton
Sometimes, a tooth becomes badly damaged from disease, decay, or accidental impact. In other cases, a developing tooth becomes impacted on other teeth. Impaction occurs when there is not enough room on the jawbone to support a developing tooth. This is often the fate of wisdom teeth. Tooth extractions are procedures done by the dentist or an oral surgeon to remove a tooth from its socket in the bone. Tooth extractions can be performed on a loose or damaged tooth. While a dentist may fix damaged teeth with fillings or dental crowns, extraction is necessary when the damage is too extensive.
Why You May Need a Tooth Extraction
One common reason for needing a tooth extraction is tooth decay. For this reason, it is important you maintain excellent dental hygiene.
In addition to extracting a tooth due to decay or having a loose tooth, there are a few other reasons dentists may recommend extracting a tooth:
- A dental extraction may be recommended when a tooth is deeply decayed, causing severe pain
- Baby teeth fail to fall out in time in some children, and this may necessitate their extraction to give way for permanent teeth to come in
- People who have extra teeth that hinder other teeth from coming in may need a tooth extraction
- Removing impacted wisdom teeth to relieve pain and swelling
- People undergoing radiation may have their teeth removed where the radiation will take place
- Cancer patients who develop teeth infections may have such teeth removed
- After an organ transplant, you may remove a tooth that could cause infections
Additionally, a dentist may recommend extracting a tooth if you’re having braces. In this case, you may need a tooth extraction to create room for the teeth moving into place.
