Caring and compassionate care
Sometimes as an adult, you need to have a tooth pulled. While your teeth are meant to last a lifetime, there are reasons for having a tooth removed. The most common reasons include:
An overly crowded mouth.
When a patient needs to undergo orthodontic treatment to improve the health of their smile, additional room is occasionally needed to allow space for teeth to readjust their position.
Wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth often need removing. Either the mouth doesn’t have enough room to accommodate the emergence of new molars or the teeth fail to erupt through the gum line. When teeth become compacted under the gum line, they cause swelling and discomfort that can only be alleviated by their removal.
Infection
If a tooth becomes badly infected by dental decay and disease, it may not be possible to save the tooth. To prevent the spread of infection, removal may be the only option.
