The primary goal of oral healthcare is to help patients maintain healthy natural teeth for life. Unfortunately, though, situations can arise that leave damaged or decayed teeth unsavable, which means they must be removed. Although it is often the last option we will provide, it can sometimes be the best one, especially if your oral health is at risk.

When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

At ForestLeaf Dental of Justin, we never recommend a tooth extraction unless it is for one of the following reasons:

  • A child’s baby tooth will not fall out on its own, and the permanent tooth is trying to erupt
  • A tooth is impacted beneath the gumline and poses a threat to nearby healthy teeth
  • The tooth is severely decayed, and the infection can easily spread to other areas of the mouth
  • The tooth is badly damaged because of facial trauma and cannot be saved with other forms of restorative care
  • Advanced gum disease is causing a tooth to become loose
