Tooth Extraction at Esteconfido

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. There are various reasons why a tooth may need to be extracted, including:

1. Severe Tooth Decay: When tooth decay progresses to an advanced stage, and the tooth is extensively damaged, extraction may be necessary.

2. Advanced Gum Disease: Periodontal (gum) disease can lead to the weakening of the supporting structures of the teeth, making extraction necessary in severe cases.

3. Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, can sometimes become impacted (unable to fully emerge from the gums) or cause problems such as pain, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth.

4. Orthodontic Reasons: In some cases, orthodontists may recommend the extraction of one or more teeth to make room for the proper alignment of the remaining teeth.

5. Trauma or Injury: Teeth that have been severely damaged due to accidents or trauma may need to be extracted if they cannot be adequately restored.

6. Preparation for Dentures: In cases where a person is getting dentures, extraction may be necessary to make room for the denture appliance.
