Extraction (Tooth Removal)

Extraction

Although we will use every measure to prevent tooth loss, there are still some occasions when a tooth needs to be removed.

A tooth may need to be extracted if the following occurs:

  • Severe tooth decay

  • Infection or abscess

  • Orthodontic correction

  • Malpositioned teeth

  • Fractured teeth or roots

  • Impacted teeth

Dr. Nidhi may suggest extracting a tooth after careful examination with accompanying x-ray. We use the x-ray to understand the shape and position of the tooth and surrounding bone. Dr. Nidhi also offers sedation for kids who are nervous or anxious.
