When are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

There are a few situations in which we may recommend tooth extraction in Cottonwood Heights, including:

• A tooth is severely decayed and can’t be repaired with a dental filling or crown.
• A tooth previously treated with root canal therapy has become reinfected.
• A tooth is severely damaged and cannot be repaired.
• There isn’t enough room in your mouth to undergo orthodontic treatment.
• Gum disease has eroded the supportive structures of a tooth, causing it to become loose.
