General Extraction Procedure at Oral and Facial Surgery, Greenbelt MD

A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from the mouth. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons. Tooth decay that has destroyed enough tooth structure to prevent restoration is the most frequent indication for extraction of teeth. Extractions of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth are routinely performed, as are extractions of some permanent teeth to make space for orthodontic treatment.

Common Reasons for Tooth Extraction

The most common reason for extracting a tooth is tooth damage such as breakage or fracture. Some other possible reasons for tooth extraction are as follows:

Extra teeth which are blocking other teeth from coming in

Severe gum disease which may affect the supporting tissues and bone structures of teeth

Severe tooth decay or infection

In preparation for orthodontic treatment (braces)

Insufficient space for wisdom teeth (impacted wisdom teeth)

Receiving radiation to the head and neck may require extraction of teeth in the field of radiation

Dr. Joyce is one of the best dental surgeons I know. The bedside behavior?? I was completely calm and he made it 1000x better. They even played my favorite station on Amazon Music with Alexa. 😭 It was amazing.
