- If in orthodontic treatment of teeth, there is not enough space for the teeth to be placed in the jaw.
- If the wisdom tooth has not fully grown, has decayed, has grown in the wrong direction, has become infected, and has damaged the tooth next to it, it should be removed.

When is Tooth Extraction Not Necessary?
Teeth that have a large amount of tissue left are not suitable for extraction. Such teeth can be maintained with other treatments such as restorations and veneers. Note that no dental treatment has been able to completely restore natural teeth, therefore, preserving the teeth is always a priority.
Pre-Treatment Preparations
- In the first session, the dentist will first present you with a treatment plan. This customized treatment plan is based on the tissue of your gums, mouth and teeth.
- Be sure to inform your dentist if you have a specific illness, history of hospitalization, pregnancy, or taking certain medications.
- You need to have a medical image of your tooth before extracting it.
- If you are taking any medications, you will need to make changes in the amount, type and time of taking them in consultation with your doctor.
- If you smoke, stop smoking at least one day before tooth extraction.
- Under certain conditions, you may need to take antibiotics before tooth extraction.
How It is Done
Simple Tooth Extraction

Surgical Tooth Extraction
- Similar to the previous method, the target area is first anesthetized.

- If the tooth is embedded under the jawbone, the dentist should also remove the jawbone in that area.
- The next step is for the dentist to extract the tooth.
