Extracting Wisdom Teeth can Protect the Entire Teeth Arch

Wisdom teeth are the last to grow and typically happen between the ages of 17 and 21. When they do, usually there is little room left in your mouth.

Tooth extraction is performed to correct an actual problem that may arise in the future if wisdom teeth are left untreated. Wisdom teeth threaten to throw off the structural integrity of your mouth, which means: call for disaster.

• Wisdom teeth can become impacted as your jaw may not be large for them.


• They might break halfway and cause a flap of gum tissue to grow causing food and other germs to deposit.


• The impacted wisdom tooth can also lead to infection, causing damage to teeth and bone.


• One or more wisdom teeth can come up awkwardly, and cause intense discomfort.

Regular Tooth Extraction

Dental professionals perform tooth extraction for a variety of reasons such as the decay in a tooth or the presence of a broken tooth. Before considering the treatment, every effort will be employed to repair and restore your tooth; if they do not seem to work, extraction is performed as a last resort. Typically, this is intended as a cosmetic dentistry treatment as they aim to beautify the appearance of your teeth as a complete set.

The common reasons for which dentists will recommend extractions are as follows.

• Extra teeth that needs to be pulled out


• Teeth that have been damaged beyond basic repair using fillings and other conventional methods.


• Milking teeth which have not migrated yet


• Making room for new set of teeth


• Receiving radiation


• Cancer drugs can sometimes affect your teeth and can demand immediate teeth removal


• Source of infection


• Wisdom tooth removal

Extraction as a viable cosmetic dentistry option

Tooth extractions are more of a last resort option if the dentist cannot fix the natural tooth using conventional methods. The commonly recommended options include dentures, implants, and bridges.

Each of these replacements features artificial crowns that are custom fabricated to appear and function like a natural tooth.

It also means that you have to take care of your dental health. Proper oral hygiene is the best treatment for ensuring your dental health remains in optimal condition.

Dental care after extraction is the most important step of all and it is even more necessary if you have artificial crowns put in. Consult your dental care professional to advise you on your hygiene routine.
