Do you need a tooth extraction?
Come down to Oxnard Dental Group for a thorough consultation to determine if an extraction is the right decision for you.
Oxnard Dental Group | Dental Sealants, Snoring Appliances and Dental Cleanings
Some of the most common reasons our office may recommend having a tooth extracted include the following ones:
Overcrowded Teeth
A tooth size to jaw size discrepancy often results in a crowded and misaligned smile. More simply put, the upper and lower jaws are not large enough to accommodate all the permanent teeth. As part of an orthodontic treatment plan to optimally align teeth and establish an attractive, healthy, and functional bite, the extraction of select permanent teeth may be required.
Advanced gum disease that has significantly compromised the tooth’s supporting tissues
The most common cause of tooth loss in adults is gum disease. When left untreated, periodontal disease, which affects the hard and soft tissues supporting your teeth, can lead to gingival pocket formation, gum recession, and diminishing alveolar bone. As advanced and untreated gum disease progresses, the teeth ultimately loosen, fall out, or require extractions.
A permanent tooth that has been severely fractured or cracked and can not be restored
There are many different types of chips, cracks, and fractures that can affect your teeth. The extent of the damage that it causes will determine if there is enough intact tooth structure to save the tooth and the type of treatment required. In cases where too much tooth structure or the root of tooth has also been compromised, an extraction may be necessary.
