EXTRACTIONS

Teeth may need to be extracted for a number of reasons:

  • Decay
  • Orthodontic reasons (if teeth are crowded a tooth / teeth may be removed to create space)
  • Impacted, for example wisdom teeth without enough space to fully erupt. Impacted teeth can cause recurrent inflammation or infection in an area or may cause problems for the teeth beside them.
