At times, despite our best efforts to maintain our oral health, certain circumstances necessitate the removal of a tooth. This can be due to various reasons, ranging from injury to disease.

Understanding Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure involving the removal of one or more teeth from the oral cavity. This can be essential in various situations:
- Trauma or Damage: A severely cracked or broken tooth may necessitate extraction.
- Disease or Infection: Advanced gum disease or deep-rooted cavities can compromise a tooth to the point of extraction.
- Orthodontic Treatment: At times, teeth are removed to ensure better alignment during orthodontic treatment.
- Preparation: For those transitioning to dentures, specific teeth may need to be extracted.
- Wisdom Teeth: Often, wisdom teeth can pose problems like overcrowding or impaction, requiring their removal.
