7 Conditions When Tooth Extraction Is Needed
2

• There are conditions to be observed to know when
  tooth extraction is needed. A tooth extraction is
  the removal of the tooth from the jaw and may be
  done simply or could require surgical removal
  especially when the tooth is impacted.

3

• Whether a tooth extraction is simple or
  complicated will depend on the tooth, its shape
  and form, as well as the position it assumes in
  the mouth.

4

• A tooth that is mono-rooted (one root) will be
  extracted quite simply than one which has two or
  three extremely divergent roots. An impacted,
  ankylosed or fractured tooth will be so much
  difficult to extract, so tooth extraction for
  these cases will be more complicated.

5

• To make it more comfortable for the patient, a
  tooth extraction is performed with anesthesia. To
  numb the area so that the tooth can be pulled
  out, the anesthetic solution is deposited.

• These 7 conditions will indicate your tooth
  needs to be extracted
• 1. When a child has entered mixed dentition
  phase, he is at the age where the baby teeth are
  exfoliating and the permanent teeth are erupting.
  The tooth extraction of a baby tooth will be
  required when the permanent counterpart is
  already erupting or is expected to come out. When
  a tooth completely exfoliates, it may just fall
  off, but sometimes a tooth extraction is needed.

• 2. When tooth, baby or permanent, has been
  infected by dental caries and it can no longer be
  restored with a dental filling or a pulp therapy
  (root canal) a tooth extraction will be required.

8

• 3. When gum disease is allowed to progress, it
  spreads to the bone. Bone is lost, as a result,
  and the tooth becomes mobile since the support is
  not enough. Often, gum disease can be healed and
  the condition can be reversed but when the
  condition is already severe and no hope can be
  seen, the tooth is pulled out.

9

• 4. When a tooth did not erupt properly in the
  mouth, giving the patient an ugly and uneven
  smile, he can wish to receive orthodontic
  treatment to correct his smile or he can receive
  prosthetic work which will require the tooth
  extraction of the so-called extra tooth.

10

• 5. In orthodontics, various alignment and
  occlusion problems are resolved through the use
  of dental braces. Often, teeth can be brought to
  proper alignment by simply moving teeth around or
  expanding the arch sometimes when space is
  insufficient the only hope for a successful
  treatment would require the extraction of a few
  teeth. The space gained after the extraction will
  permit the proper movement of teeth and the
  realignment of ones smile.

• 6. When there is not enough space, especially in
  the case of the wisdom teeth which come out at
  the age of 17 to 21 years old, the teeth do not
  erupt at all and they become impacted. Sometimes
  they can be left under the bone and it will not
  be a problem. Unfortunately, there are cases when
  it will become infected or it will destroy
  adjacent structures, so their tooth extraction of
  these impacted teeth is prescribed.

12

• 7. After the odontectomy procedure of a wisdom
  tooth, the tooth extraction of the opposing third
  molar may be required. Leaving that tooth there
  will only cause a problem because it does not
  occlude with anything, so it will supra erupt
  until it impinges on the gum tissue of the
  opposing arch.
