There can be several reasons why a tooth—or several teeth—may need to be extracted. Such decisions must always be underpinned by a professional dentist’s diagnosis, and all possible alternatives should be thoroughly explored before opting for tooth extraction. Common reasons for extraction can include:

• Preparation for orthodontic or cosmetic procedures
• Existing or potential infection risks
• Advanced periodontal disease
• Severe tooth decay
• Lack of space—often an issue with wisdom teeth
• Prevention of future disease or infection

While tooth extraction is typically considered a last resort to preserve dental health, there are instances where it becomes the best available option to alleviate pain and restore oral health.
