Reasons for Tooth Extractions:

1. Severe Tooth Decay:

   • When tooth decay is extensive and cannot be effectively treated with restorative procedures such as fillings or crowns, extraction may be recommended.

2. Advanced Periodontal Disease:

   • Untreated gum disease can lead to the loosening of teeth, making extraction necessary to preserve the health of surrounding teeth and gums.

3. Impacted Wisdom Teeth:

   • Wisdom teeth, or third molars, may become impacted (unable to fully emerge) and can cause pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth, necessitating extraction.

4. Orthodontic Treatment:

   • Tooth extraction may be part of orthodontic treatment plans to address crowding and create space for proper alignment.

5. Broken or Fractured Teeth:

   • Teeth that are severely broken or fractured beyond repair may need to be extracted to prevent infection and further complications.

6. Preparation for Dentures or Implants:

   • Tooth extraction may be required as part of the preparation for dentures or dental implants.
