Reasons Why Teeth Are Extracted

Permanent teeth are meant to last a lifetime.

However, teeth may be extracted due to dental complications or in order to prevent further problems. A painful, impacted wisdom tooth or an infected tooth may cause serious issues that need to be treated through extraction.

Teeth are extracted for a variety of reasons, such as:

  • If a tooth is badly decayed or damaged
  • If the patient has gum disease
  • To prevent further complications
  • If a tooth is badly infected
  • To improve appearance (as part of orthodontic treatment)
  • If teeth have no function
  • Damage injury to the mouth and/or surrounding teeth
  • Baby teeth that do not fall out in time for adult teeth to erupt
  • To make room for a fake tooth
  • Impacted wisdom teeth (a common cause for tooth extraction)
  • Swollen, irritated, bleeding, or red gums

  • Overcrowding of other teeth

  • Jaw pain
