When Might You Need an Extraction or Oral Surgery?

Tooth extraction or oral surgery may be necessary for several reasons, primarily to relieve pain, prevent the spread of damage, or prepare your mouth for future restorative or orthodontic treatments.

Reasons for Surgical Intervention

Common situations where an extraction or minor oral surgery is recommended:

  • CheckmarkSevere Decay or Damage: If a tooth cannot be saved and must be removed to protect surrounding teeth.
  • CheckmarkImpacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth (third molars) often become impacted, requiring removal due to pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth.
  • CheckmarkOvercrowding & Orthodontics: Teeth may need to be removed to create necessary room for orthodontic treatment (braces) to achieve a proper bite.
  • CheckmarkAdvanced Gum Disease: When gum disease has advanced to damage supporting bone and tissue, extraction may be necessary to improve overall oral health.
  • CheckmarkTumours or Cysts: Removal of a growth or cyst found in the mouth may require minor oral surgery.
