Tooth Extractions Sterling Heights
Removing Troubled Teeth to Assist Your Smile
Tooth extraction refers to removing a tooth (or teeth) from the mouth. We’ll always try to preserve your natural teeth when possible, but there are times when it may be best to extract a tooth for the sake of your oral health. Rest assured, during an extraction procedure, patients are given a local anesthetic to numb the area for a more comfortable procedure. There are several types of tooth extractions based on the degree of impaction, as well as based on the actual depth of the teeth within the jaw.

When are Tooth Extractions Necessary?
There are several instances when Dr. Tamara might suggest tooth extraction, including:
- Possibility of Damage to Nearby Teeth: Can result in tooth decay (cavities), periodontal disease (gum disease), and possible bone loss.
- Oral Disease: Although uncommon, impacted teeth can develop cysts and tumors in the areas surrounding impacted wisdom teeth.
- Infection: Bacteria and food can become trapped under the gum tissue, resulting in an infection. The infection can cause considerable pain and danger.
- Tooth Crowding: Makes proper dental hygiene more difficult, in addition to causing damage to other teeth.
