What Is Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a tooth is removed from its socket in the bone. This can be done for many reasons — from severe damage to making space for orthodontic treatment.
At our clinic, extractions are performed painlessly using modern techniques and anesthesia to ensure maximum comfort.

Factors That Lead to Tooth Extraction
Here are the most common reasons why tooth extraction may be necessary:
—
1. Severe Tooth Decay
When decay reaches the pulp (the tooth’s nerve and blood supply), infection can occur.
If a root canal is not possible due to excessive damage, extraction may be the only option.
—
2. Advanced Gum Disease (Periodontitis)
Gum disease can destroy the bone and tissue holding the tooth.
When a tooth becomes too loose, saving it might not be possible.
—
3. Impacted Teeth
This occurs when a tooth (usually a wisdom tooth) cannot fully erupt due to lack of space.
Impacted teeth can cause pain, swelling, infection, and damage to nearby teeth.
—
4. Broken or Fractured Teeth
A tooth broken below the gum line or into multiple pieces often cannot be repaired.
—
5. Overcrowding
Sometimes teeth are removed to make space for orthodontic treatments like braces or aligners.
Extraction ensures proper alignment and bite correction.
—
6. Infection Not Treatable by Other Means
If infection spreads to the jawbone and surrounding tissues and antibiotics or RCT can’t save the tooth, extraction may be required.
—
7. Failed Root Canal Treatment
Occasionally, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment becomes re-infected and cannot be retreated.
—
8. Trauma or Injury
Sports injuries, accidents, or falls can damage teeth beyond repair.
—
9. Preparation for Dentures or Implants
Severely damaged teeth may be removed before placing dentures or dental implants.
—
10. Medical Needs
In some cases, teeth with infection are removed before cancer therapy, heart surgery, or organ transplants to avoid complications.
