When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extractions are typically performed when a tooth is beyond repair. Common reasons include:
- Severe Decay or Infection: When tooth decay or infection has damaged a tooth extensively, and restoration isn’t possible.
- Gum Disease: Advanced periodontal disease can loosen teeth, making extraction necessary.
- Trauma or Injury: Teeth that are broken or damaged beyond repair due to accidents.
- Overcrowding: Removing teeth can help prepare the mouth for orthodontic treatment.
- Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth that are impacted may need to be removed to prevent future complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Extraction is necessary if a tooth is severely decayed, damaged beyond repair, infected, or causing crowding. Your dentist will evaluate your situation and recommend the best option.
Alternatives like root canal therapy or crowns can save a tooth if it’s viable. Your dentist can advise if these options are suitable based on the condition of your tooth.
Delaying extraction can lead to worsening infection, increased pain, and the potential spread of infection to other areas, posing serious health risks.
Possible side effects include pain, swelling, bleeding, dry socket, or infection. Following aftercare instructions reduces these risks significantly.
A simple extraction usually takes about 20–40 minutes. Surgical extractions may take longer, depending on the tooth’s condition and complexity.
