There are many reasons why one would need to have a tooth extracted. Our goal is to help you fully understand your situation and treatment options so that you’re comfortable with the choice you make. The main reason for an extraction is a damaged or diseased tooth. Once a tooth is damaged past the point of fixing it is necessary to have that tooth extracted. Holding on to an infected tooth can cause more health problems down the road. Our office also offers wisdom tooth services. Wisdom teeth need to be extracted when they cannot enter the mouth properly. They may come in sideways, partially, or remain trapped under the gum. This may cause discomfort, headaches, as well as risk of infection. Coming in for a simple exam and panoramic x-ray can help us diagnose and treat any wisdom teeth trouble you may be having. In most cases, we are able to extract the wisdom teeth right here in our office.
