Extractions: Dental Services in Racine, WI

Racine Dentistry tooth extraction/removal services

There are several reasons a tooth extraction or removal may be needed.

Other reasons include:

Infection: teeth that become infected and cannot be treated with root canal therapy.
Severe periodontal disease: an inspection is performed of the supportive structures of a tooth, its gingival attachment, and bone.

Creating space for braces: Children’s teeth may require removal to allow adult teeth to erupt correctly. (This is done before fixed appliances or braces are placed). Rarely are adult teeth extracted for orthodontics.

Wisdom Teeth: These are our third molars; it usually erupts around the ages of 18-21 (some people are born without third molars). Extraction of wisdom teeth may be required when: there is not enough room in the jaw to accommodate the tooth. This can result in a partial eruption. Partial eruptions can cause infection of both the gums and the cheek. Often, removal of wisdom teeth require surgery; these cases are referred to an oral surgeon, a specialist, in tooth removal.
Following an extraction:

Unrestorable: Teeth that are too severely damaged due to decay and trauma that cannot be restored.
