Extraction

What is an Extraction?

Oftentimes, removing a sore, infected tooth with a hole is the best treatment option.

 

Commonly, wisdom teeth which are the last teeth to come through cause many problems. They serve little function, are heard to clean and can cause recurrent infections throughout your life.

 

Even though they may not hurt yet, it is best to remove them when you are young and healthy, and when healing from the extractions is quick and easy.

 

If left for a long time, there is a risk of damage to adjacent teeth, cysts forming, and entanglement of nerves around the root of the tooth.
