Tooth Extractions are usually done to remove a tooth that has been suffering from extensive damage. It is usually the last resort when tooth is unrestorable and cannot be saved anymore. Before removing a tooth, dentist will thoroughly review your medical and dental history and take the appropriate X-rays. X-rays reveal the shape and position of the tooth and surrounding bone.

Wisdom teeth removal
Given that the wisdom teeth erupt last, There is sometimes not enough room to accommodate the wisdom teeth which impedes their ability to erupt into the mouth correctly. In some cases, the wisdom teeth will partially emerge through the gums and can result in cavities, gum infections or damage to the adjacent tooth. Wisdom teeth frequently grow horizontally and diagonally, which can lead to serious issues. When there is not enough space for the wisdom teeth to come out, they can cause discomfort, swelling, pain as they shift. Wisdom teeth removal is often recommended to avoid future problems.
