ORAL SURGERY (TOOTH EXTRACTION)

Tooth Extraction is something we normally don't think about especially if the oral health is in great shape. But removing teeth are necessary in certain situations.

Impacted wisdom teeth are ideal for accumulation of food debris and bacteria, leading to pericoronitis-gum inflammation causing excruciating pain.

Extensive tooth decay and fractured teeth or root that cannot be salvaged.

Permanent teeth blocked by a primary tooth that has not exfoliated on time results in crowded teeth, occlusion and esthetic problems, and difficulties with daily home care. 
Though it is less common nowadays, extracting certain teeth prophylactically may be necessary in some situation prior to orthodontic treatment.

Advanced Periodontal disease where all the supporting bone structure around the teeth is completely gone so that the teeth become unstable and loose, making eating difficult.
