If you’re dealing with a damaged, painful, or infected tooth, extraction may be the best solution to protect your oral health. At Fairfield Dentistry & Implants, we provide safe, gentle tooth extractions in Fairfield using modern techniques and personalized care.
Let’s explore when an extraction is necessary — and what comes next.
❓ When Is Tooth Extraction Needed?
Tooth extraction is often recommended in cases where saving the tooth is no longer possible or practical. Common reasons include:
✅ Severe decay or infection
When a tooth is too damaged for a root canal.
✅ Advanced gum disease
Loose teeth caused by untreated periodontal disease.
✅ Impacted wisdom teeth
Third molars that don’t erupt correctly or cause crowding.
✅ Orthodontic reasons
Sometimes teeth are removed to help align the bite before Invisalign.
✅ Trauma or fractures
Broken teeth below the gumline that cannot be restored.
