At SK Vision Dentistry in Seven Hills, Sydney, under the expert care of Dr. Sanjita Karna, we understand that the thought of a tooth extraction can be daunting. However, in certain situations, it’s the most effective solution for restoring your oral health and preventing further complications.
Why Might a Tooth Extraction Be Necessary?
- Severe Decay or Infection: When a tooth is extensively damaged by decay or infection and cannot be saved with treatments like root canals, extraction becomes necessary to prevent the spread of infection.
- Impacted Teeth: Impacted teeth, particularly wisdom teeth, can cause pain, swelling, and damage to surrounding teeth. Extraction is often recommended to alleviate these issues.
- Overcrowding: In some cases, teeth may need to be extracted to create space for orthodontic treatment and ensure proper alignment.
- Preparation for Dental Restorations: Extractions may be required to prepare the mouth for dental implants, dentures, or bridges.
- Fractured Teeth: Teeth that are severely fractured or broken below the gum line may require extraction.
