Why Tooth Extraction Matters Now
Preventing Complications and Protecting Oral Health
Removing a severely damaged or infected tooth prevents ongoing pain and protects neighbouring teeth. It also allows healthier tissues to recover and function properly.Timely extraction reduces the risk of spreading infection and helps avoid more complex, costly procedures later. Early, ethical advice supports confident, well‑informed decisions for your care.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
Key Signs, Indications, and Clinical Priorities
Extraction may be the safest option when a tooth is non‑restorable, painful, or spreading infection. It can also be necessary for orthodontic alignment or when impacted wisdom teeth cause swelling, discomfort, or recurrent infections.
Early assessment helps prevent complications and protects surrounding teeth and gums.

Severe decay with pain or infection

Impacted wisdom tooth causing recurrent problems
-
Fractured tooth beyond predictable restoration
