Tooth Extraction in Albuquerque

Good oral hygiene should always be practiced since the loss of a single tooth can have major impact upon your oral health and appearance. Although dentists will use every measure to prevent tooth loss, there are still some occasions when a tooth may need to be extracted.

When Does A Tooth Need To Extracted?

After careful examination and treatment, the dentist may advise to have a tooth extracted. Before a tooth is removed, the dentist will take an x-ray in order to understand the shape and position of the tooth and surrounding bone. A tooth may need to be extracted if the following occurs:​

​

  • Severe decay

  • Advanced periodontal (gum) disease, which involves loss of supporting bone.

  • Infection or abscess

  • Orthodontic correction

  • Fractured teeth or roots

  • Impacted teeth
