Not only are impacted wisdom teeth painful, but they can also affect the surrounding teeth and create a perfect environment for an infection to form. In order to protect the rest of your mouth, your dentist will likely recommend removal in this case.
Whether it’s to make room for orthodontics or it’s a wisdom tooth that’s pushing your other teeth together, if your mouth is becoming too crowded, tooth extraction can help to create more space.
If you’ve suffered from a facial injury or trauma, your tooth could be broken or chipped. In other situations, your tooth could be severely decayed. If your dentist is unable to save your tooth with a filling, crown, or root canal, it will probably need to be removed.
Advanced periodontitis (or gum disease) pulls your gum tissue away from your teeth. Extraction may become necessary if the condition has become too severe for your dentist to be able to reattach the gum tissue to your tooth.
As a general rule, if your tooth is endangering the teeth surrounding it, your dentist will probably recommend removing it before any infection progresses.
