A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth. The focus in dentistry is to avoid the need to extract whenever possible, but certain conditions may necessitate an extraction as the most effective option. Some of these conditions include:
- Severe periodontal disease that has destroyed a significant portion of the gums and supporting bones
- Severe decay that has damaged the tooth beyond repair
- Crowding caused by too many teeth to properly fit in the mouth
