Teeth Extraction

A dental extraction may be necessary for a number of reasons, including tooth trauma, decay, crowded teeth or periodontal disease. Certain non-oral health concerns that compromise an immune system, such as chemotherapy or an organ transplant, may require a tooth extraction to eliminate the risk of a tooth infection spreading. The most common type of extraction is a simple extraction, which involves a dentist removing a tooth in one piece. If a simple extraction is not an option, a sectional extraction or surgical extraction may be required.
