Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be restored with a filling or crown, extraction may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection and protect neighbouring teeth.
Advanced Gum Disease: In cases of advanced periodontal disease (gum disease) where the supporting bone is severely damaged, extraction may be required to preserve the overall health of the mouth.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, frequently lack sufficient space to emerge correctly. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, and damage to neighbouring teeth, necessitating extraction.
Orthodontic Treatment: In some orthodontic cases, teeth may need to be extracted to create space for proper alignment and bite correction.
