Extractions may be necessary in several scenarios:
Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be restored by fillings or crowns. Infection: If an infection is present in the root of the tooth or the surrounding gum tissue and cannot be treated with antibiotics. Orthodontic Reasons: To create space for proper alignment of teeth during orthodontic treatment. Trauma: In cases where a tooth is severely damaged due to an injury. Impacted Teeth: When a tooth is unable to erupt properly and is stuck in the gum.
