You may need a tooth extraction if you experience:
- Severe tooth pain that doesn’t improve with treatment
- Extensive decay or damage that can’t be restored
- Advanced gum disease-causing, loose teeth
- A tooth infection or abscess that can’t be resolved with a root canal
- Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain, swelling, or crowding
- Overcrowded teeth requiring removal for orthodontic treatment
Your dentist will evaluate your tooth with an exam and X-rays to determine if extraction is the best option.
