Extractions
The goal of modern dentistry is to preserve the natural teeth for a lifetime. It is a well-known fact that the loss of a single tooth can have an impact not only on your dental health but also on your appearance.
Most tooth extractions can be prevented; however there are certain conditions under which tooth removal is necessary for the proper health and function of the oral cavity. Here are a few reasons why teeth may have to be removed:
- Decay
- Gum disease
- Relieve crowding prior to braces
- Teeth fractured in sports or other accidents
- Impacted teeth such as wisdoms teeth
