Tooth Extractions

Good oral hygiene should always be practiced since the loss of a single tooth can have major impact upon your oral health and appearance.  Although dentists will use every measure to prevent tooth loss, there still sometimes

necessary occasions when a tooth may need to be extracted.  A tooth may need to be extracted for the following reasons:

·Severe decay

·Advanced periodontal disease

·Infection or abscess

·Orthodontic correction

·Mal positioned teeth

·Fractured teeth or roots
