TOOTH EXTRACTIONS in PALM HARBOR

EXtraction overview

Tooth extraction is a common procedure which permanently removes a tooth from its socket, and may be a simple extraction or require surgical extraction, depending on the patient’s circumstances. Many young adults have their wisdom teeth extracted or other adult teeth removed in order to create a healthy, functional smile.

Extraction may be required for other reasons, including:

  • Risk of Infection – Teeth that pose a high risk of infection may be removed from patients at risk from weakened immune systems or when receiving treatments such as chemotherapy.

  • Preparation for a Denture – On rare occasions, teeth are removed to prepare the mouth for a complete denture.

  • Crowding – Crooked teeth may prevent needed orthodontic work, and may need to be removed
