Although permanent teeth were meant to last a lifetime, there are a number of reasons why a patient may need a tooth extracted. A very common reason involves a tooth that is too badly damaged, from trauma or decay, to be repaired. If a tooth has been broken or damaged by decay, Dr. Charles Ferzli at Smiles of Cary will try his best to fix it with a filling, crown or other dental treatment. You’re probably most familiar with wisdom teeth extractions, but other reasons for the procedure may include:
- Severe tooth damage/trauma – some teeth have such extensive decay and damage (broken or cracked) that repair is not possible.
- Orthodontic treatment – people getting braces may need teeth extracted to create room for teeth that are being moved into place.
- Some teeth may need to be extracted if they have the potential of becoming infected.
- Extra teeth – extra teeth may block other teeth from erupting, therefore, will require extraction.
If you experience tooth pain of any kind, please give us a call to discuss your treatment options.
