Extraction (Tooth Removal)
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.
