Why is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
Dental extractions, molar removal, or a tooth removal, may be required for various reasons, including misaligned, decayed, or damaged teeth. Misalignment can get in the way of other teeth that are growing in. Or, it’s possible that an orthodontist may recommend extraction to create space for proper alignment treatment.
This collaborative effort between an orthodontist and a dentist involves removing misaligned teeth to optimize overall results.
Another common reason people need tooth extraction is that teeth are decayed or severely damaged. For example, if dental appointments are neglected and tooth decay becomes severe, then it can lead to irreversible damage, which means that extraction might be the only last resort treatment available.
