Tooth extraction is safe if performed correctly. Proper preparation for the procedure and thorough cleaning of the tissues after the tooth is removed are crucial. It is especially important to avoid traumatizing the surrounding tissues during the extraction and to ensure the area is cleaned properly afterward. When these steps are followed correctly, the tissues will regenerate naturally. An improperly performed extraction can result in a defect in the jawbone, potentially causing problems in the future.

• When wisdom teeth are non-functional (not involved in chewing) and severely affected by decay, pulpitis, or periodontitis.
• When root structure or poor access makes quality endodontic treatment impossible.
• When partially erupted wisdom teeth cause recurrent soft tissue inflammation (pericoronitis).
• When impacted wisdom teeth could damage adjacent tooth roots or cause teeth crowding.
• When misaligned wisdom teeth injure the cheek lining during chewing.
• To reduce the likelihood of cyst formation around an impacted tooth or to remove a tooth with an already formed cyst.
• Wisdom teeth removal is recommended before starting orthodontic treatment with braces or clear aligners. -

Is it necessary to replace an extracted tooth?
It is recommended to replace an extracted tooth to reduce wear on other teeth, which bear more pressure during chewing. This also helps to prevent bite misalignment and to stop jawbone deterioration.
